Ada Karmi Melamede is one of the most prolific architects of her generation in Israel and abroad. Through her daughter's lens, an extraordinary protagonist is revealed whose life story is intertwined with the story of the turbulent and complicated country she loves. Ada offers an unusually evocative perspective on ideas such as "place," "home," and "state" as someone working toward improving the public sphere while that sphere deteriorates and becomes increasingly fraught.
