Parution : Critical Strategies for Ecological Architectures : Pluriversal-Bioregional-Decolonial
Critical Strategies for Ecological Architectures : Pluriversal-Bioregional-Decolonial est un ouvrage de Mathias Rollot, publié en octobre 2025 aux éditions Springer Nature. Il paraît dans la collection « Anthropocene – Humanities and Social Sciences » sous la direction de Nathanaël Wallenhorst et Christopher Wulf.
La préface de Mireille Roddier, professeure d’architecture et d’étude de genre à l’Université du Michigan est disponible en libre accès : On the Possibility of Ethical Architecture.
Le livre propose une synthèse anglophone, revue et augmentée, des travaux menés durant la dernière décennie, sur les croisements multiples entre écologies et architectures ; sur les injonctions éthiques et politiques posées à la discipline et ses pratiques par la situation environnementale contemporaine ; ou encore sur les ouvertures émancipatoires, plus qu’humaines, décoloniales et biorégionales, qui se dessinent aujourd’hui pour y répondre.

Abstract :
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.
