What can architecture tell us about the transition from a humanist world to a new posthuman paradigm?And, on the other hand, what does posthumanism reveal about the architecture we create? This book documents a research process surrounding these questions and suggests a hypothesis for reflecting on them. It argues that we are witnessing a new Romanticism, a spirit of work and critical stance that recognizes the interdependencies between people, animals, celestial bodies, technologies, and minerals, among others, and all the parts that constitute the cosmos, and that this spirit is articulated in an interspecies practice. The artifacts compiled in this book―architectural projects, literary texts, technological devices, replicas of natural phenomena, building materials, products, works of art or design, models, or prototypes―reflect on our interdependence with other places, species, materials, and intelligences.
