[Semester Abstract]

The Visual Culture Module for the Winter Term 2023–24 will concern strategies for imagining new forms of social bonding and community building. In the ‘Laboratory for Posthumanist Architecture’ we will consider what it means to de-centre the human in the ways we live, think, and practice. By focusing on posthumanism, an approach that disrupts, questions, and invites new paradigms of world-making, we will seek to collectively ‘trouble’ binary thinking to discuss new ways of addressing human’s relationship to the natural world. Popularized within the fields of philosophy and critical theory by critics such as Donna Haraway and Rosi Braidotti – posthumanism is increasingly becoming not just a set of vague ideas and beliefs, but something that can be practiced and applied in structural, spatial, and material ways. The Laboratory for Posthumanist Architecture will address what it means to translate posthumanist philosophy on concrete terms in the realm of architecture.
