Animal Architecture: Beasts, Buildings and Us (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781789146929)

A provocative call for architects to remember and embrace the nonhuman lives that share our spaces.

A spider spinning its web in a dark corner. Wasps building a nest under a roof. There's hardly any part of the built environment that can't be inhabited by nonhumans, and yet we are extremely selective about which animals we keep in or out. This book imagines new ways of thinking about architecture and the more-than-human and asks how we might design with animals and the other lives that share our spaces in mind. Animal Architecture is a provocative exploration of how to think about building in a world where humans and other animals are already entangled, whether we acknowledge it or not.
