Suite de Are We Human? des mêmes auteurs, ce livre provocateur se présente comme un manifeste urgent pour une philosophie alternative de larchitecture. Il considère les bactéries comme les véritables architectes, ouvriers, équipes de maintenance et habitants des bâtiments. Colomina et Wigley sappuient sur les dernières recherches sur les microbes pour repenser le passé et les futurs possibles de lenvironnement bâti. Le livre explore les interactions intimes des microbes au sein des corps et des bâtiments au cours des 10 000 dernières années, aboutissant à la « philosophie antibiotique » de larchitecture contemporaine. Les maladies de notre époque sont des maladies de lenvironnement bâti. La combinaison mortelle dune diversité microbienne en rapide déclin et de bactéries de plus en plus résistantes aux antibiotiques constitue une menace aussi grande que le changement climatique. Lhostilité envers les bactéries doit céder la place à de nouvelles formes dhospitalité, issues dune architecture plus symbiotique qui apprend des bactéries, les embrasse et se reconnecte au sol, aux plantes et aux autres espèces. Les bâtiments fondés sur la peur des bactéries autrement dit, la peur de la vie elle-même doivent laisser place à des bâtiments qui apprennent des modèles de coexistence basés sur les bactéries elles-mêmes.

Paperback. Etat : New. The sequel to the authors' Are We Human?, this provocative book is an urgent manifesto for an alternative architectural philosophy. It treats bacteria as the real architects, construction workers, maintenance crews and inhabitants of buildings. Colomina and Wigley draw on the latest research into microbes to rethink the past and possible futures of the built environment. The book explores the intimate entanglements of the microbes within bodies and buildings over the last 10,000 years, culminating in the antibiotic philosophy of contemporary architecture. The diseases of our time are diseases of the built environment. The deadly combination of rapidly declining microbial diversity and rising antibiotic-resistant bacteria is as great a threat as climate change. Hostility to bacteria has to give way to new forms of hospitality from a more symbiotic architecture that learns from bacteria, embracing them and reconnecting with soil, plants and other species. Buildings based on fear of bacteria, which is to say fear of life itself, must give way to buildings learning from models of coexistence based on bacteria themselves.The main goal of the book is to rethink the very idea of shelter in terms of forms of inclusion rather than prophylactic forms of exclusion.
