MY PROJECTS, MY LIFE IN CHANGING TIMES: NOTES OF AN ARCHITECT

In this work, the renowned architect, Lev Konikov, author of a number of notable projects, shares his thoughts about his life and work pending his repatriation to Israel. The architect looks back on his role in the five most important projects of his professional career in Israel, between 1997 and 2010. These include the reconstruction and modernization of the Nokia Arena, as well as the reconstruction and expansion of the University of Haifa library, originally designed by the world-renowned architect Oscar Niemeyer. His quest for answers to the questions behind such fundamental concepts as vocation, knowledge, ability, skill takes the reader on an absorbing historical journey. This book will be a welcome resource for architects, as well as students, young people who have elected to devote themselves to the profession of architecture, as well as to anyone who is interested in contemporary architecture..
