Oddkin Architecture Istanbul III
Beings (and things) requiring each other in unexpected collaborations and combinations. Being situated someplace and not noplace, entangled and worldly.
- Donna Haraway, Staying with the Trouble (2016)
“Oddkin” architecture seeks to develop design strategies by closely examining a site’s idiosyncrasies and by mixing them into new types of hybrid urban objects. In philosopher Donna Haraway’s words, the goal for this studio could be described as the design of “unexpected collaborations and combinations” in architecture, which -by being “situated someplace”- take on new meanings in regard to their place and origin.
