Misfits & Hybrids: Architectural Artifacts for the 21st-Century City by Ferda Kolatan

Contemporary cities are shaped by the unlikely adjacencies of urban components that over time accumulate into mismatched configurations. This book explores the untapped potential in these unexpected conditions for a new kind of architecture through projects set in the cosmopolitan megacities of Istanbul, Cairo, and New York.

Mr. Kolatan’s design work with SU11 has been exhibited at renowned venues including the FRAC Center, Walker Art Center, Vitra Design Museum, PS1, MoMA, Art Basel, and the Venice, Istanbul, and Beijing Biennales. As an academic, he has taught at SCI-Arc, Pratt Institute, University of Virginia, University of Innsbruck, and Columbia University among others. Mr. Kolatan has contributed to numerous architectural publications and coauthored the book Meander: Variegating Architecture. He was selected as a “Young Society Leader” by the American-Turkish Society in New York and his Cairo research studio was awarded the inaugural 2017 ARCHITECT Magazine Studio Prize.
