This collection investigates how architectural practices, ecological systems, and human subjectivity intersect to shape contemporary political and social environments. Edited by Peg Rawes, the volume brings together scholars from architecture, philosophy, and social science to challenge traditional anthropocentric views of building and environment. The contributors utilize diverse theoretical frameworks, including biopolitics and feminist theory, to argue for a more relational and ethical approach to architectural design and ecological management.
