Reviews
In its strength of research, its sharp investigation, its originality of view and its colossal significance, this is an outstanding work. Ariane Lourie Harrison has edited one of the most innovative collections on environmental architecture theory I've read. Mitchell Joachim, New York University, USA and Co-President, Terreform ONE This excellent compendium assembles a select group of thinkers and designers engaging in the challenge of posthuman thought, and suggests avenues forward which will expand architecture's capacity to perceive, comprehend, and respond to this paradigm shift in thinking. It is a much needed survey that should indeed help us to go beyond the human while remaining, somehow, thinkers and builders of the human. Edward J. Keller, Parsons The New School for Design, USA This significant collection of essays and case studies edited by Ariane Lourie Harrison explores some of the most critical questions surrounding sustainability vis-a-vis the notion of posthumanism. Harrison's thoughtful introduction sets forth a clear framework for the book, while the format of combining theoretical texts with well-analyzed and illustrated case studies is as rarely seen as it is highly effective, enabling connections to be made between concepts and actualizations.
