oa Inbetween Oost en West. Een architecturaal ensemble / Inbetween East and West. An architectural ensemble

ENSEMBLE: An Architecture of the Inbetween is the book by architect and artist Shervin/Sheikh Rezaei published at the end of 2020. It is the result of her first solo trip to her home country Iran, which she undertook in the winter of 2018. Sheikh Rezaei writes about the two cultures between which she moves, the Middle Eastern (Iranian) and the Western (Belgian), and the in-between feeling she experienced during her trip. In her research, she searched for a polyphonic place, an architectural ensemble that unites both cultures. She does this in two languages: Farsi and English. In a conversation with Ine Engels, she discusses the creation of this bilingual publication.
