Architecture as Measure is an elaboration on this question, and on the disciplinary and cultural potentials of such a provocation. It positions climate change as a cultural and political idea that requires a renewed architectural environmental imagination. The book takes on this task by presenting a set of unconventional collisions between architecture and climate change, which all extrapolate broader concerns of the city, environment, and geography through the lens of specific architectural questions such as form, representation and materiality. In that way, the book is an invitation to boost architecture's planetary effect by collapsing the centers and the peripheries of the discipline, by colliding its very outside with its very core interior.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>An impressively organized and presented study of seminal and deftly written scholarship, Architecture as Measure is a unique and unreservedly recommended addition to professional and academic library Sustainability & Green Design, Architectural Criticism, and Architecture Project Planning & Management collections and supplemental Architectural curriculum studies lists.-- "Midwest Book Review"<br><br>Through models and drawings that are both hyper-realistic and disturbingly dreamlike, Turan and her San Francisco-based firm, NemeStudio, create displays of existing building types deformed, distorted to reveal their origins in extractive industries, or combined to construct narratives of the violence we are perpetuating on this planet.... Architects such as Turan are important not because of what they build, but because of how they practice. In other words, they are architects in the profoundest and most effective way possible. --Aaron Betsky, Architect Magazine<br>
