Description
Ada Karmi-Melamede's architectural projects are notable for their human scale and sensitivity to the surrounding terrain. This collection showcases three major buildings: the Supreme Court Building in Jerusalem, the Open University Campus in Tel Aviv, and the Visitors Pavilion at Ramat Hanadiv. The photographs accompanying this book capture these structures under sunny skies, while Ada Karmi-Melamede's preliminary sketches, plans, and elevations provide a detailed insight into her design process. This publication will be of particular interest to students of architecture, offering a unique perspective on the importance of human scale in democratic spaces. Lavishly illustrated with photographs and accompanying drawings, this book provides an illuminating look at Ada Karmi-Melamede's work.
