Scent of the Trace is an expose of an Architect's inner dialogues
during the design process. The book contains a detailed and
extensive documentation of the internal struggle to conceptually
ground and position three different works of architecture;
Sancaklar Mosque, Bergama Cultural Center and Yalikavak Palmarina.
Emre Arolat investigates how architecture can exceed its boundaries
by envisioning the interaction between the work of architecture and
the community, the unique interpretation of the context and the
relation to its physical surroundings. Arolat's writing shows that
works of architecture are palimpsests and as such are devoid of any
single message. Accompanied by sketches, drawings and photographs
that give insight into the design process, the book presents the
search for an architecture construct that nurtures culture, social
interaction and diversity, fostering relationships where the key to
a design is not to be found in its "origin" but in its
"destination," where architecture transforms the destiny of a
place. Emre Arolat is the Founding Partner and Lead Designer of
EAA-Emre Arolat Architecture, an international design studio with
offices in New York, London and Istanbul. Since 2004, EAA has
cultivated a design approach, reconciling issues of identity that
is rooted in historical and geographic traditions, yet recognizes
the inescapable demands of the contemporary world.
