In this rich interview with Gökhan Kodalak, co-founding partner of ABOUTBLANK, a number of peculiar trajectories are discussed in relation with architecture, including but not limited to: open-source architecture; sociological problematic of structure and agency in built enviroment; modernist architects as Baudelairian dandy and flaneur figures; entanglement of architectural history, theory and practice; paradigmatic developments of contemporary architecture; affective capabilities of built environment; and architectural affects in horror movies directed by Polanski, Hitchcock and Kubrick.
