- Synopsis
- Ada Karmi-Melamede is one of the most accomplished female architects, yet her work remains largely unrecognized beyond architectural circles. In the 1970s, she moved to New York from Israel, following her husband's rising career, and spent the next 15 years balancing academia, large-scale public projects, and motherhood. While teaching at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, she contributed to major urban initiatives, including a master plan for Con Edison, a study for mixed-use development along the proposed Second Ave Subway, and a 1978 housing competition on Roosevelt Island—all while raising three young children. In the 1980s, after being denied tenure at Columbia, Ada made a bold decision to leave New York & her family for the opportunity of a lifetime – the design of the new Supreme Court of Israel. While her career flourished, personal sacrifices mounted while away from her family.
