The Architecture as Measure project explores the role of architecture in imagining the environment beyond environmentalism and technological determinism. Through an installation and publication, it offers an alternative perspective to politics and the ordinary aspects of construction, with a focus on a global imaginary. The installation features dioramas with detailed documentation of the stages of construction in Turkey, and the project also includes research on bureaucracy and a series of talks. The project suggests that architecture needs to focus on its role as an agent in shaping the planet.

Fun, colourful and thought-provoking, it offers a tongue-in-cheek moment to the Arsenale sequence...
