Bio/Matter/Techno/Synthetics: Design Futures for the More Than Human (B/M/T/S) captures anddisseminates inspiring voices in contemporary design practicing in the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, art, ecology, environmental design, material studies, emerging technologies, media, artificial intelligence, and critical theory. B/M/T/S articulates future ready visions for a field that is increasingly called upon to participate in ever more complex aesthetic, ethical, environmental and socio-political contexts. B/M/T/S does this by redefining the very origins, principles, and values of design. Despite the propensity of contemporary discourse to favor the search for a hegemonic theory, this collaborative project convenes the work of twenty- eight women, all of whom interrogate the origins, methods, and tactics of their respective disciplines.
Collectively, B/M/T/S challenges the common place nature of ideas founded in parametricism, object- oriented ontology, parafictional realism, post-digital representations, and corporate functionalism. In exchange, it seeks the confluence of critical, aesthetic, and ethical thought in future speculations on the biological, the material, the technological, and their synthesis. It does this at scales that operate across multiple disciplines and territories. The twenty-three papers and five editorials collected in this volume speak to subjects of bio-design, speculative biology, green walls and pavers, design by decay, soilless soil, sentient materials, photogrammetrees, robotics, nanotechnology, thermal architecture and alliesthesia, digital weaving, chemical droplets, and even Frankenstein.More broadly, ideas and questions that animate the two dozen articles collected in B/M/T/S are grounded in the production and representation of emergent ecologies, non-human agency, machine learning, and responsive computation.
The book’s interdisciplinary framework guides the much-needed synthesis of design with biology, material studies, and emerging digital technologies; design being the interdisciplinary lens through which their interdependence and independence is channeled and challenged. A range of speculative theories, physical projects, material and digital technologies, as well as social critiques are offered that explore our relationship to design as a form of synthesis. Individually and collaboratively, the essays in B/M/T/S question well-established disciplinary methods in favor of new ways for actualizing previously marginalized ideas, values, and practices. Committed to an ethics of synthesis, B/M/T/S explores the limits and potential of designing with multiplicity, metamorphosis, and hybridization. The book’s authors demonstrate a variety of reconciliatory practices for cross-pollinating ideas, materials, and technologies in their drive to design a future world that is always more than human, materially constituted, artificially charged, and synthetically embedded.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Susan Kolber explores ethical, aesthetic, and environmental practices that reposition and reimagine humans and their interactions with other beings in the built environment. As a leader of various initiatives at AIA's Equity by Design group and Penn's Women in Design organization, advocacy work has been an important aspect of her professional and academic practices. She has focused on increasing equity in the professions of architecture and landscape architecture through projects that have focused on data collection, storytelling, and mentorship. Her professional background is in residential architecture and public landscapes where she has worked on projects of different scales combining her interests in multispecies relationshipsandenvironmentalresearch, equityadvocacy, and passion for design. Susan received her undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania studying Architecture, Urban Studies, and East Asian Studies.
Marta Llor is an architectural designer from Barcelona, based in New York. She graduated with a Master of Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania and a certificate in Urban Resilience. She holds a BFA in Architectural Design from Parsons School of Design, where she received the School of Constructed Environments Honors. She is currently a designer at Snarkitecture. Throughout her academic career, Marta has held leadership roles in various organizations, including Penn Women in Design (PWID) where she was the Professional Development Chair for three years. In her role, Marta developed a robust program of Firm Visits and a wide network of professional connections that have helped students connect with practicing designers. Marta led teams for the organization of two conferences at Penn, and collaborated with other student organizations on campus. Marta has a passion for designing human-centered urban environments and resilient cities. She believes architecture is the truest reflection of our values as a society, the mirage of what we strive to become. Her designs stem from a relentless curiosity about geometric explorations and narratives about space, time and agency.
Amber Farrow is a third-year M.Arch candidate at The Weitzman School of Design. In addition to founding the club Dinner Discourse she currently holds the chair position of Professional Development for Penn Women in Design. She previously studied at Newcastle University, where she received her Bachelor of Architecture degree. There her pursuit in the intersection between science and design started from work she did in the Experimental Architecture studio, led by Dr Martyn Dade-Roberston. Since then she has continued researching interdisciplinary practices and is currently studying the application of soft robotics in architecture for her graduate thesis, Becoming Robotic: Becoming Nature. She is also the recipient of the 2020 Van Alen Traveling Fellowship which has enabled her study of Dendriform structures in Spanish architecture, an aesthetic and structural rationality, which seeks to showcase historic and contemporary practices operating at the intersection of design, nature and technology.

Shop-Beschreibung
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
