Analogous Jerusalem brings together photographs of the city of Jerusalem by Gili Merin with an architectural text by Pier Vittorio Aureli. The photographs trace a topography of the city as a layered and contested landscape: ancient stones and contemporary concrete, sacred enclosures and militarized borders, dense neighbourhoods and vast voids. Aureli's essay develops a meditation on the city as architecture's highest challenge – a place where every spatial decision is political, every threshold a negotiation between conflicting memories and aspirations. Together, the photographs and text construct an image of Jerusalem as an analogous city: a place simultaneously actual and imaginary, specific and universal.
