Nili Portugali, lecturer at the Technion's Faculty of Architecture and Town planning, and a practicing architect working in Israel for more than 30 years has written a new book published by Edition Axel Menges. The book has been selected by The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA ) International Book Award to be among the top 23 books of the year 2007.
This book is much beyond architecture, being the first one to present, through over 600 colored illustrations and text how the holistic-phenomenological approach as a whole was implemented in contemporary architecture.
‘There is no other book quite like this one, it really is singular and worthy of your close attention’
The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA)
‘Portugali's quiet revolution may be the one that passes the ultimate test of time’….
URBAN DESIGN International, Palgrave Macmillan Journal (2007) 12
'It is not every day that a book is published which describes the world view of an Israeli architect with a fascinating body of work and a structured thesis about how architecture should be practiced here, Such is Nili Portugali’s book'
Books Supplement, Ha'aretz December 13, 2006
