Choreographing Space is a reflection on the collaborative work of New York
City-based architecture practice, e+i studio. In the book, the founders of the
practice, Eva Perez de Vega and Ian Gordon, outline a fascinating selection
of projects from the studio, which will take the reader on a journey and
give them a key understanding of the important work of this dynamic and
forward-thinking architecture and design practice.

This insightful book offers both a retrospective and speculative outlook.
Retrospectively, it explores the people, places and practices that have
influenced each project. For certain projects it also proposes speculative
post-human scenarios, to support the idea that the impact of architecture on
its environment involves a reconning with the ecologies it replaces.
The book is uniquely structured. Organised into four parts, each part
opens with a philosophical text that acts as an insightful prelude to the
topics, questions and reflections posed by each project. Each part concludes
with a speculative scenario, where one of the projects is imagined thriving
in a future where life is now almost extinct. These are not intended as
apocalyptic or even nostalgic scenarios, but rather as affirmative alternatives
to the bleak imaginary arising from the world's current climate crisis.

Choreographing Space involves the self-reflexive act of selecting the
conceptual strands of each project and organising them under headings,
or species. Much like the concept of 'speciation' where living creatures are
categorised into seemingly related groups, under their 'genus'. This type
of grouping synthesizes the ideas, intents and hopes for each project, and
looks into how it could have been implemented differently. Nothing is static,
or definite; projects are in continuous process of becoming, as they continue
to relate to evolving ecologies of thought.
