This book examines how environments and organisms dynamically produce one another. As such, it takes its title very seriously (and very literally): to speak of environment plus organism is the only viable way where neither term gets to be reduced to the other. It is rather their coming together, what thinkers like Gilbert Simondon call transindividuation, and it’s unfolding that stand as the most exigent ambition of this book. In simple terms, this book claims that the minimum unit of analysis in any architectural account is always the environment, the organism and their (technological) plusing, examined as one.The book has three interrelated ambitions, which are fundamentally pedagogical: 1) Irreducibility: it ‘makes no sense whatsoever to try to understand the anatomy of half a chicken’ as Gregory Bateson puts it, and this book makes a constant plea for an architectural account of the Batesonian claim. 2) A Real Copernican Revolution: our engrained anthropocentrism always sees the organism as antecedent to the environment. To counter it, this book cultivates an architectural ethos that sees organisms and environments as co-constitutive equals. 3) Exteriority of Relations: highlighting the power of plusing, this book underscores the ever-changing how of a form of life. A mode of existence never pre-exists an event of plusing environments and organisms.Readers of this book will be exposed to an original philosophy of architecture that brings together transdisciplinary concerns through concrete architectural examples, while opening its audience to a broad population of interests, from social sciences to media studies and affect theory. Written in a playful manner, it wishes to make accessible notions, concepts and ideas that can transform contemporary architectural thinking and open it to a broad speculative logic. This book will be of interest to researchers and students of architecture, architectural theory, architectural history, and philosophy.

Critical and Clinical Cartographies rethinks medical and design pedagogies in the context of both the Affective and Digital Turns that are occurring under the umbrella of New Materialism. This collection is framed through Deleuze’s symptomalogical approach which creates the ideal terrain for architecture and medical technologies of care to meet with robotics, alongside the newly emerging ‘materialist landscape’.A number of questions emerge, which are addressed across the collection.What is the impact of the Digital Turn on the contemporary medical and architectural education and/or practice?How does the Posthuman Turn influence the possible convergence of medical and architectural education and/or practice?How has the biopolitical concept of care mutated under the proliferation of digital technology?How could medical research contribute to architectural design and how could design, in turn, contribute to the improvement of health care?

Drawing on a range of philosophical texts, Andrej Radman brings together a collection of his essays, published over the last decade, to show that when a society manipulates its matter it is not a reflection of culture, it is culture. To speak of ecologies of architecture is to break with judgement for experience. As Gilles Deleuze put it in his book on Nietzsche, it is not about justification, 'but a different way of feeling: another sensibility'. If to think differently we have to feel differently, then the design of the built environment has no other purpose but to transform us. While engineering is solution-oriented, architecture stays with the problem so as to tease out a creative potential.

Interprets architecture theory through the lens of Continental philosophyDrawing on a range of philosophical texts, Andrej Radman brings together a collection of 11 of his essays, published over the last decade, to show that when a society manipulates its matter it is not a reflection of culture; it is culture. To speak of ecologies of architecture is to break with judgement for experience. As Gilles Deleuze put it in his book on Nietzsche, it is not about justification, 'but a different way of feeling: another sensibility'.

Driven by the Foucauldian attitude of subsuming architectural history into a genealogy of techne, Architectures of Life and Death advances a transdisciplinary approach rethinking subjectivity and exploring the political ramifications of these processes for the discipline of architecture and beyond. In contrast to mainstream approaches, architecture will not be seen as representative of culture, but as the mechanism of culture, the ‘collective equipment’ that rests on the reciprocal determination of social habits and technological habitats. In this sense, the idea that we shape our environments, therefore they shape us, is not to be taken as a metaphor. The animate has always been utterly dependent on the inanimate. A livable habitat is one which the inhabitant actively co-evolves with and which does not constitute a ready-made condition to which the inhabitant would simply have to passively adapt.
