More-Than-Human Architectures

This research seminar explores how we can think and design with the more-than-human. The students engaged with the writings, exhibitions, and projects OFFPOLINN. Through case studies, including Superpowers of Ten, PHANTOM. Mies as Rendered Society, the exhibition Stonelife at La Biennale di Venezia 2025, installations such as COSMO in New York, and the Transspecies Kitchen, as well as architectural projects like Rambla Climate-House, Hybrid Infrastructure:Run-Run-Run, and the Reggio School in Madrid, students explored the architectural, ethical, and material dimensions of coexistence. Structured around three modes of research — writing and essays, drawing diagrams, presentations and publication, the seminar invites the students to read, analyze, and discuss Jaque’s work and to develop a critical understanding of how architecture can become a collaborative, multispecies practice grounded in planetary interdependence. Exhibited here are the black and white analytical diagrams the students made.
