Education & Professional Philosophy

Anat completed her Bachelor of Architecture in Architecture and Urbanism at the Bezalel Academy of Arts & Design in Jerusalem and the Technion Israeli Institute of Technology in Haifa. She obtained her Master of Architecture and Urbanism from the Design Research Laboratory (DRL) at the Architectural Association (AA) in London.

 

Anat has lectured extensively across Israel, Europe, and the UK and has taught at the AA and the University of Westminster in London. She has been an invited critic at prominent institutions, including the Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL), London Metropolitan University, Royal College of Art (RCA), University of Westminster, University of Greenwich, and multiple universities in Israel. She was also co-directing the Architectural Association Visiting School in Milan's annual workshops, a collaboration between the AA and the Politecnico di Milano.
