Choreographing Space' is a reflection on the collaborative work of New York City-based architecture practice, e+i studio.

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.
