This project interrogates the ways in which agriculture operates not merely as a land-use practice but as a territorializing force that reconfigures space through political, ecological, and economic logics. Found within the context of Ayd\u0131n, a site historically inscribed by fertility yet increasingly subject to the extractive rationalities of monoculture and global commodity chains, the project uses licorice as a material and epistemological lens. By foregrounding liquorice as both crop and archive, the work traces sedimented histories of cultivation, displacement, and transregional exchange. Ayd\u0131n emerges as a constructed geography, shaped by infrastructural mandates and market imperatives as much as by oral histories and embodied memory. Through speculative spatial interfaces, the project proposes interruptions to dominant binary classifications\u2014urban\/rural, visible\/invisible, pixel\/vector\u2014advancing a mode of architectural thinking rooted in \u201clicorice thinking\u201d: adaptive, situated, and attuned to translation across scales and disciplines.
