Decentering Design — Practice in a More-than-human World

This book is an invitation to journey beyond humancentric thinking and into the more-than-human world. By merging theory with practice, it offers strategies, insights, and exercises that cultivate a deeper sensitivity to the interconnected more-than-human community we form with all living beings. Whether you’re an artist seeking new creative possibilities, or a designer rethinking your relationship with your surroundings, this book will guide you towards a richer, more entangled way of seeing and making.

With diverse contributions by architects, landscape architects, product- and interaction designers, artists, photographers, philosophers, academics, curators, policy makers and policy officers. Contributions include FormaFantasma, Superflux, Eva Meijer, Clemens Driessen, Mihnea Tanasescu, Dries Segers, and Jacopo Leveratto, among others.
