Was bedeutet es, wenn Architektur ein tatsächlich gemeinschaftliches Unterfangen ist, in dem Pflanzen und andere Arten auch einen Handlungsraum einnehmen? Dies würde bedeuten, die Architektur zugänglich zu machen - physisch, indem sie Räume für die Unterbringung mehrerer Arten schafft, und intellektuell, indem sie sich der Bedürfnisse nicht-menschlicher Lebewesen bewusst wird. Entwurfsbasierte Ansätze, ob technokratisch oder von einem theoretischen Standpunkt aus, sind heute fragmentiert und erfordern einen ganzheitlichen Ansatz. Living Together positioniert sich in dieser Fragmentierung. Das Buch ist eine Untersuchung über eine Architektur, die artenübergreifende Allianzen ermöglicht. Es bringt materialistische und ökologische Untersuchungen in den Entwurf, die Praxis und das Denken ein und fordert, über die etablierten architektonischen Ideale von Fortschritt, Monumentalität, Langlebigkeit und Dauerhaftigkeit hinauszugehen. <UL> <LI>Ein Leitfaden für ökologische Planung in der Architektur </LI> <LI>Cohabitation: Architektur muss den nicht-menschlichen Lebensraum berücksichtigen </LI> <LI>Inspirierende Illustrationen </LI></UL>

What does it mean for architecture to be a truly collaborative venture where plants and other species also exercise their agency? This would mean to make architecture receptive—physically, premised on creating spaces for accommodating multispecies; and intellectually, premised on becoming aware of the needs of more-than-humans. Design-based approaches whether technocratic or demonstrating a theoretical standpoint are fragmented today and demand a holistic approach. Living Together positions itself in that fragmentation. The book is an inquiry into an architecture which allows multispecies alliances to take place. It brings materialist and ecological inquiries to architectural design, practice, and thinking; acknowledging a necessity to go beyond established architectural ideals of progress, monumentality, longevity, and permanence. <UL> <LI>A guide to ecological planning in architecture </LI> <LI>Cohabitation: architecture must take into account the non-human living space </LI> <LI>Inspiring illustrations </LI></UL>
