In Turkey, there exists a rich tradition of auxiliary architecture that is supplementary to permanent domestic structures. In hot climates, it often provides essential shade, either as stand‐alone shelter or as transitional spaces between the cool interior and the sun‐exposed exterior. It is a history that offers great potential for innovative sustainable solutions that require little or no energy. Michael Hensel and Defne Sunguroğlu Hensel describe the work that they have undertaken in this area through the Auxiliary Architectures: Membrane and Cable‐Net Systems Workshop at the İzmir University of Economy.
