In light of the current political crisis around climate change, what can architecture contribute towards a new planetary imaginary of our contemporary environment? Architecture as Measure positions climate change as a cultural and political idea that requires a renewed architectural environmental imagination. The exhibition juxtaposes the seemingly mundane aspects of architectural construction in Turkey with their respective planetary counterparts— such as geographies of material extraction, supply chains, maintenance and care. Through storytelling, dioramas, and research, Architecture as Measure suggests anotherroute for architecture’s relation to the world, in which it is more of an agent than a mere respondent.
