“November Talks” (Listopadové promluvy), during which four personalities of the contemporary Israeli architectural scene will be presented, is organized by the Faculty of Architecture, Czech Technical University in Prague, in collaboration with the Sto-Stiftung foundation. The foundation has been supporting lecture series at leading architecture schools for 10 years – in Stuttgart, Graz, Milan, and Paris. This year, for the first time, they will also take place in London and Prague.
David Knafo will present the work of an Israeli architectural office, whose recent success includes the realization of the national pavilion of Israel at this year's Expo in Milan. Knafo Klimor Architects was founded by David Knafo and Tagit Klimor in 1980. In addition to architects, the team also includes planners and designers. The office gained recognition in 2007 in an international competition for sustainable housing organized by Living Steel. The proposal introduced a new sustainable typology called Agro-Housing, which combines agricultural lifestyle with urban living. Architect Klimor teaches at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa.
