Nili Portugali is a Israeli architect, whose work is tightly connected to the holistic-phenomenological school of thought, which she argues
is much beyond the given definition of Sustainable Architecture, a humanistic worldview she implements in urban design,
architecture, landscape design and interior design in designing public buildings, residential and private houses.
