Maps materiality's importance in the emergent posthuman future of architecture This book gathers 14 architects, designers, performing artists, film makers, media theorists, philosophers, mathematicians and programmers. They all argue that matter in contemporary posthuman times has to be rethought in its rich internal dynamism and its multifaceted context. By transversally crossing disciplinary boundaries, new and profound insights into contemporary thinking and creating architecture emerge.

Combining the dynamism of materiality and the capacities of nonhuman machines towards prototyping spatiotemporal designs and constructs leads to alternative conceptions of the human, of ethics, aesthetics and politics in this world yet-to-come.

Maria Voyatzaki (Vogiatzaki) is an architect and Professor of Architecture, Anglia Ruskin University, UK and a Professor of Architectural Design and Technology, School of Architecture, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. She holds a PhD from the University of Bath, UK. She is the chief editor of the peer-reviewed archi-DOCT Journal.
