Design Futures for the More than Human

Sonja Dümpelmann, Aroussiak Gabrielian, Gundula Proksch, Pinar Yoldas, Lucinda Sanders, Ayasha Guerin, Laia Mogas Soldevilla, Andrea Ling, Mae-Ling Lokko, Rebecca Popowsky, Julia Lohmann, Martina Decker, Behnaz Farahi, Stefana Parascho, Dorit Aviv, Viola Ago, Jacqueline Wu, Sophie Hochhäusl, Clarissa Tossin, Jenny Sabin, Rachel Armstrong, Patricia Olynyk, Kathy Velikov.

The twenty-three papers and five editorials collected in this volume speak to subjects of bio-design, speculative biology, green walls and pavers, design by decay, soilless soil, sentient materials, photogrammetrees, robotics, nanotechnology, thermal architecture and alliesthesia, digital weaving, chemical droplets, and even Frankenstein. Despite the propensity of contemporary discourse to favor the search for a hegemonic theory, this collaborative project convenes the work of twenty- eight women, all of whom interrogate the origins, methods, and tactics of their respective disciplines. Collectively, B/M/T/S challenges the common place nature of ideas founded in parametricism, object- oriented ontology, parafictional realism, postdigital representations, and corporate functionalism.
