We are NOT NOT, an architectural practice exploring overlooked dimensions of architecture as sites for political and creative inquiry. Founded by Ekin Bilal and Celia Chaussabel from a shared interest in spaces that are considered exterior to architecture like maintenance sheds, air vents, zoning loopholes, and construction debris, NOT NOT projects reimagine the physical and disciplinary margins of architecture as spaces of collective imagination and care.
NOT NOT’s installation design and fabrication work has been exhibited internationally, including the Venice Biennale, Storefront for Art and Architecture, the Art and Design Gallery at Fashion Institute of Technology, Salone del Mobile in Milan, and Princeton School of Architecture.
