Abstract

You know you are in the world of NEMESTUDIO when you look around you and see a diorama that foregrounds architecture’s role in processes of deforestation, a section drawing of the earth across the Equator, an archipelago of single-material islands in their raw and architectural forms, and a crater on top of a decaying arcade. But the San Fransisco-based practice of Neyran Turan and Mete Sonmez is not limited to speculations such as these. Their projects not only look at the long shadow of architecture to explore its geographical and geological agency; through their form and content, they also reflect on the history of the discipline to reveal the many faces of the avant-garde architectural imaginary today.
