AIA New York Center of Architecture open its doors to the public for a very special book launch by Alper Derinboğaz, founder of Salon, the internationally renowned architecture studio based in Istanbul, Berlin and recently Los Angeles.
The book launch event, Future Terra Formations, where Alper Derinboğaz will share insights and anecdotes from his new book, Geospaces (Actar Publishers, 2022) will also feature a panel discussion with Ariane Harrison, Michael Young, and Ferda Kolatan on how buildings can be seen as iterations of nature through spatial intelligence.
Geospaces is an extended visual essay of ideas, images, drawings, and projects that follows the work of Alper Derinboğaz over the past decade, framing an approach based on empathy with the earth. Together with the insightful foreword by curator and architectural critic Luca Molinari, Geospaces features the essay “Selective Permeability in Architecture” by Graham Harman, one of the most influential names in contemporary philosophy.
In his book, Derinboğaz traces relationships between topography, geology, genetics, ecologies, and construction technologies, arguing that a hybrid approach to making will shape our future habitats.
As part of their efforts to support earthquake victims in Turkey, they will be donating all proceeds from the book launch event to the Turkish Philanthropy Fund, an international non-profit relief organization.
To support their funding drive, please consider purchasing “Geospaces”. They will donate all proceeds to support those affected by this tragedy.
