This book addresses the alarming state of the planet and considers a
potential new role for architecture in the Anthropocene. It explores
ways in which architecture could contribute to solutions, as well as
how the discipline should prepare for the future. Drawing on other
disciplines such as bioregionalism, animalism and decolonial thinking,
it demonstrates how architecture can extend its relevance. The book
introduces new theoretical approaches that encourage completely
different ways of thinking, showing and designing. It introduces
concepts such as human energy, decolonial bioregionalism, and
emancipatory architecture, which serve to challenge anthropocentric
theories and promote more sustainable architectural practices. This
book makes an ethical appeal to architects and non-architects alike,
proposing new strategies for thinking, teaching and creating a wholly
different kind of architecture for a rapidly changing world. In doing
so, it addresses the challenges facing contemporary societies and
ecological changes, demonstrating how the ecological humanities can
transform architecture as a field and radically alter its history,
references, values, and aims. The book aims to contribute to a
metamorphosis of architecture towards greater ecological and
emancipatory capacity, and towards pluriversal bioregions.
