This book addresses the alarming state of the planet and considers a potential new role for architecture in the Anthropocene. It explores ways in which architecture could contribute to solutions, as well as how the discipline should prepare for the future. Drawing on other disciplines such as bioregionalism, animalism and decolonial thinking, it demonstrates how architecture can extend its relevance. The book introduces new theoretical approaches that encourage completely different ways of thinking, showing and designing. It introduces concepts such as human energy, decolonial bioregionalism, and emancipatory architecture, which serve to challenge anthropocentric theories and promote more sustainable architectural practices. This book makes an ethical appeal to architects and non-architects alike, proposing new strategies for thinking, teaching and creating a wholly different kind of architecture for a rapidly changing world. In doing so, it addresses the challenges facing contemporary societies and ecological changes, demonstrating how the ecological humanities can transform architecture as a field and radically alter its history, references, values, and aims. The book aims to contribute to a metamorphosis of architecture towards greater ecological and emancipatory capacity, and towards pluriversal bioregions.

Based in Nancy in eastern France, studiolada is an architectural collective founded on values such as commitment to the common good, responsible use of resources, service to the public sector, collaborative dialogue, short supply chains, and circularity. These principles shape a collective practice deeply rooted in its local territory, drawing on its resources and dynamics.Conceived and edited by architect and lecturer Mathias Rollot, Architectures terrestres reflects on the collective’s philosophy while showcasing the wide range of work they have realized over time. It features an illustrated selection of thirty key projects, includes four exclusive interviews with studiolada members, and presents ten open contributions from external professionals and scholars, providing a rich diversity of perspectives on their practice and the ideas that inform it.With contributions by Tiphaine Abenia, Frederic Bonnet, Hakima El Kaddioui, Salima Naji, Dominique Gauzin-Müller, Anne-Sophie Gouyen, Gilles Marseille, Ivan Mazel, Salima Naji, Julien-Pierre Normand und Felix TorkarFirst comprehensive publication on the award-winning French architecture collective studioladaA “coffee table book” as much as a schol¬arly volume, with academic contributions for students and teachersPresentations of projects and exclusive interviews with the architects on press¬ing issues such as gender and ecology
