Teaching[]

Beginning in 1998, Emre Arolat has taught in architectural schools in Turkey and abroad, including Mimar Sinan University, Istanbul Bilgi University, Berlage Institute for Architecture,[11] TU Delft and Erciyes University, he was also visiting juror at Pratt Institute,[12] Middle East Technical University and Istanbul Technical University. He has been invited as a jury member for numerous professional architectural design competitions in Turkey and abroad, including the WAF (World Architecture Festival), Europan 8, Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Opera House Architectural Design Competition and in 2014 the Çanakkale Antenna Tower International Competition and the CSBE (Center for the Study of the Built Environment) Student Award for Architectural Excellence in Amman.[13] He was the 2017 Norman R. Foster Visiting Professor at Yale School of Architecture.[14]

Exhibitions[]

Arolat was one of two curators of 1.Istanbul Design Biennial in 2012.[15] He curated “Musibet”,[16] an exhibition focusing on the social and physical effects of the rapid transformation processes taking place in Istanbul. EAA curated exhibitions “Nazaran.../With regard to...”[17] in 2006, “An/Moment”[18] in 2012 and ”Fabrika/The Factory”[19] in 2013.

In 2015 Arolat curated EAA's exhibition, “ist-on situations”[20] at RIBA, London.The exhibition explored through a timeline beginning with the mid-19th century that shows key events or turning points in the course of the urban stories of London and Istanbul. Through a dual city approach the practice reveals “situations” that unite and differentiate these two great cities at the east and west ends of Europe in their development. Along with the visual material and text focusing on the background of the urban situations, a selection of recent projects and those underway by EAA – Emre Arolat Architecture in Istanbul were showcased, as ‘agents’ of the current urban scene. The exhibition featured original drawings, models, photographs and films of EAA – Emre Arolat Architecture's projects.[citation needed]

Publication[]

The noteworthy works of EAA-Emre Arolat Architecture have been compiled in various publications.

“Emre Arolat: Buildings / Projects 1998-2005” is the first monograph by Emre Arolat. It uses thirty projects to explore the studio's architectural approach. In the book “Dalaman Airport”, explores the experience of producing this large building. EAA was the editor of the books “Nazaran.../With regard to...” and ”Fabrika/The Factory” which was published along the exhibitions.

In September 2013, Rizzoli NY published “EAA- Emre Arolat Architects: Context and Plurality”,[21] a monograph edited by Philip Jodido and Suha Özkan, covering 34 projects of the office. It was the first Rizzoli book publication for a Turkish architect. The second volume of EAA-Emre Arolat Architecture’s monograph with Rizzoli Electa, "Global and Local / New Projects: EAA-Emre Arolat Architecture" was published in 2020.[22] The book highlights thirty-two projects across Turkey, United Kingdom, Portugal, the United States, UAE, Bahamas, Republic of Tatarstan, Oman and Finland. The book contains multilayered and contextual projects like the award-winning Sancaklar Mosque, the innovative Istanbul Museum of Painting and Sculpture, which will historically document and display the largest collection of Turkish art and the Museum Hotel Antakya in which the hotel floats over archeological artifacts without touching them.

Within the same year, another book of EAA was released by ORO Editions with an introduction by Aaron Betsky.[23]The book is an expose of an architect’s inner dialogues during the design process. It reveals a detailed and extensive documentation of the internal struggle to conceptually ground and position three different works of architecture; Sancaklar Mosque, Bergama Cultural Center and Yalikavak Marina.
