Syn-Oikos
March. 2025
with Mine Öztürk and Selen Çatal
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany
syn- "together" (see syn-) + oikos "home"
How can human and non-human co-existence experiences transcend borders and separations, reshaping housing policies?
Syn-Oikos reimagines habitation by challenging the nature-culture divide through a diffractive reading of Villa Savoye, revealing entanglements of human and non-human co-existence and proposing alternative architectural practices based on porosity and permeability.
