Yaakov Rechter (14 June 1924 – 26 February 2001[2]) (Hebrew: יעקב רכטר) was an Israeli architect and an Israel Prize recipient.[3] Strongly influenced by the works of Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, known as Le Corbusier, he was among Israel's architects who also modeled Tel Aviv on North African cities with "cubist-like flat roofs".[4]
