Pitsou Kedem's spatial arrangements evoke a continuing shift of perspective: A recurring
element of the Tel Aviv architect's buildings is the impressive double height living room that
creates a connection between levels. Guided by fundamental principles of minimalism the studio
was involved in a constant pursuit of purity in order to reveal the essence of a space. After
years of simplifying materials to the extent of avoiding all distractions the architects began
to add layers of materials as well as spatial layers. This comprehensive publication retraces
the past 20 years of the Studio's practice. Alongside a photographic archive of its built
history in Israel it features Kedem's drawings and studies of light perforations from his time
at the AA School of Architecture highlighting his fascination for light as the characterizing
element that is at the core of his architectural language. Pitsou Kedem Architects Studio was
founded by PITSOU KEDEM (*1970) after graduating from the AA Architectural Association School
of Architecture in 2000. Operating for two decades the studio has planned many projects in
Israel and more recently around the world often characterized by a contrast between simple
and clean outward masses and complex and rich internal sections.
