Choreographing Space is a reflection on the collaborative work of
New York City-based architecture practice, e+i studio. In the book,
the founders of the practice, Eva Perez de Vega and Ian Gordon,
outline a fascinating selection of projects from the studio, which
will take the reader on a journey and give them a key understanding
of the important work of this dynamic and forward-thinking
architecture and design practice. This insightful book offers both
a retrospective and speculative outlook. Retrospectively, it
explores the people, places and practices that have influenced each
project. For certain projects it also proposes speculative
post-human scenarios, to support the idea that the impact of
architecture on its environment involves a reconning with the
ecologies it replaces. The book is uniquely structured. Organised
into four parts, each part opens with a philosophical text that
acts as an insightful prelude to the topics, questions and
reflections posed by each project. Each part concludes with a
speculative scenario, where one of the projects is imagined
thriving in a future where life is now almost extinct. These are
not intended as apocalyptic or even nostalgic scenarios, but rather
as affirmative alternatives to the bleak imaginary arising from the
world's current climate crisis. Choreographing Space involves the
self-reflexive act of selecting the conceptual strands of each
project and organising them under headings, or species. Much like
the concept of 'speciation' where living creatures are categorised
into seemingly related groups, under their 'genus'. This type of
grouping synthesizes the ideas, intents and hopes for each project,
and looks into how it could have been implemented differently.
Nothing is static, or definite; projects are in continuous process
of becoming, as they continue to relate to evolving ecologies of
thought.
