Ada Karmi Melamede is one of the world’s greatest architects, but little is known about her outside her homeland of Israel. The film is a deeply moving portrait of an extraordinary woman, directed by her daughter, filmmaker and former architect Yael Melamede. Ada’s work has given physical form to some of Israel’s highest democratic ideals, notably the renowned Supreme Court building in Jerusalem, the Open University, Ben Gurion Airport, and numerous civic institutions across the country.
