Ali Artun is an architect, art historian, editor, and author whose work examines museums, the avant-garde, and institutions of contemporary art. Hayalperest Mimarlık/özgür Aletlerin Mimarlığı approaches architecture through imagination rather than practical function. Its first movement traces visionary structures and autonomous forms; its second brings that history into dialogue with photographed objects released from their former uses. The result is both a study of architectural thought and a visual proposition.
The book offers a concentrated entry into Artun's wider interests by connecting historical research, exhibition practice, editorial design, and cultural criticism. Myth, utopian projects, artists, and architects form a lineage without being reduced to conventional chronology. The live-edition title is retained, while the publication itself supplies its translated subtitle and bilingual frame.
