Earth Others: Weltandere (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781638402060)

Earth Others calls on spatial practices to facilitate reciprocal exchanges between different lifeforms without imposing a designed order upon them.

At the heart of Earth Others lies a choreographic understanding of architectural place-making. Consequently, spatial design is no longer a means of stewardship to represent the voice of "natural" entities, nor entitles human designers to speak for nonhuman beings through designed artefacts. Instead, the book brings forth ways of holding space for the living to perform their basic rights to flourish.

The book combines transdisciplinary perspectives, re-contextualises anticipative theories from the ecofeminisms of the 80/90s and borrows from recent findings in Ecology, Anthropology, Philosophy, Biology and Sociology. The particularity lies in its diverse readings -- as a graphic novel, scientific compendium, site-specific study, future speculation and script for performative spatial development. Written text is accompanied by drawings with methods derived from Critical Cartography.
