More than Human Architecture

160 pages, Japanese/English

This issue features Spanish architect, writer, and curator Andrés Jaque and his international practice, the Office for Political Innovation (OFFPOLLIN), based in New York and Madrid. It presents the office’s investigation of the more-than-human dimension of the built environment through the concept of transspecies architecture, which counters unilateral anthropocentric thinking by imagining architecture as a gathering of heterogenous entities, with permeable layers and varying scales. The issue furthers this critical dialogue by bringing together architects from around the globe, including TAKK from Spain and Studio mnm and Fuminori Nousaku from Japan.
