Biography

Karmi was born in 1905 in Odessa, Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire. In 1921 he emigrated to British-ruled Palestine (now Israel).

He initially studied art at the Bezalel School of Art and Craft, Jerusalem, but was attracted to archtecture and went to Belgium to complete his studies in this field at Ghent University.

Karmi worked in partnership with several other architects, particularly in Tel Aviv, and during his professional career designed more than two hundred buildings. Karmi's main style was a modernist and he influenced a generation of Israeli architects.

Israel Prize

In 1957, Karmi was awarded the Israel Prize, for architecture,[1] the first recipient of the Prize in this field.

In 2002, Karmi's son, Ram Karmi, was awarded the Israel Prize for architecture and Carmi's daughter, Ada Karmi-Melamede, also received the Israel Prize for architecture, in 2007.
