Transspecies Kitchen

Abstract

Architecture is not about space, nor is it about form. Architecture is how different forms of life enact their physical, neuronal, and metabolic entanglement – how they constitute themselves as inseparable. Architecture is how heterogeneous entities coproduce each other as bodied togetherness. Architecture is the making of transspecies and more-than-human envirobodiments. It is the making of the fleshy and the mineral, the technological and the biological indistinguishable. Any given body is a collective. Any given body is an assembly of diverse forms of life and other-than-life. Bodying is bodying-collectiveness. Bodies infiltrate other bodies and are infiltrated by living and nonliving entities. They become environment and climate. Climate is environments, bodies, land, minerals, earthiness, wetness, and technologies becoming enacted-togetherness. Climate is the architecturalization of bodies, land, minerals, earthiness, wetness, and technologies. Any existence is bodyenvironmental.
