Antennae #56 Spaces and Species

Book Overview

This issue of Antennae, titled 'Spaces and Species', aims to, in the words of co-editors Linda Tegg, Mauro Baracco, and Louise Wright, "ask architecture to reframe what it does best - to make careful relationships between things - this time with other species. The observation this requires - reflected in this issue - is aligned to practices of listening over processes of objectification as a precursor to acting with. We seek more diplomatic ways to conduct ourselves in the shared environment to find the gestures and patterns of living that enable us to follow those we live amongst". Architecture has for thousands of years mediated our relationship with the nonhuman and the land. Delimiting, separating, excluding, and isolating-at times architectural structures have implicitly reinforced the nature/culture dichotomy that has not only defined our daily activities but that has shaped our anthropocentric conception. This issue of Antennae features the contributions of artists, architects, and scholars whose practices help us to re-envision our relationship with the spaces and species that make up the interconnected world we live in.
