Less or More (inbunden, eng)

Less or More is an experimental narrative that approaches architecture not only through built objects, but through ways of thinking, processes, questions, and moments of rupture. Drawing from over four decades of practice by Gokhan Avcioglu and the GAD team, it rejects the conventions of a classical monograph.

Instead, it frames architectural production as a cognitive map moving across practice, research, and education.
Here, projects are presented not as finished outcomes, but as carriers of ideas, influences, and contextual encounters. Sketches, notes, side readings, references, and questions are as much a part of the narrative as the buildings themselvesLess or More positions architecture not as a fixed discipline, but as an evolving way of thinking. Digitalisation, artificial intelligence, parametric design, new modes of production, and cultural transformation form the background of this narrative.

Yet technology is not treated as an end in itself, but as a tool that expands architecture’s capacity to generate meaning. Rather than framing architecture through the binaries of “less” or “more,” Less or More opens a discussion around resistance, context, and meaning It invites the reader not to simply observe, but to think and question.
