📚📚On the occasion of the publication of her first poetry collection "Πλάνης στην πλάνη της" [Errant in (her) error] (Τhines, 2024), architect and poet Katerina Gkiouleka spoke to Reading Greece about the book and her experimentation with language, as well as the convergence of #poetry and #architecture in their use of lived experience.

"Beyond the obvious mirroring between, on one hand, the poetic essence in architecture – the lyricism in its lines and the compositional form-shaping outcome, along with its dialogue with the landscape or broader environment, concepts which, incidentally, remain relatively ignored to the wider Greek public – and, on the other hand, architecture’s influence on the composition of writing, architecture and poetry converge in their use of lived experience. They grasp spatial and temporal qualities; they perceive, comment on, and respond to decay, entropy, the chiaroscuro of life; to the challenges of places and landscapes; to grounding and suspension; to the subtlety of shades; to the capacity to introspect the private and provoke the collective; to the staging of temporarily permanent habitats, and to the hosting of their visitors".
