Questioning the architect-author paradigm and the rationalist ethos of modernity that still largely dominate design practice and Western academic curricula, this book examines various ways in which the democratization of design practice has been understood and approached. Contributions from Science and Technology Studies, particularly Actor-Network Theory, provide insights into design as a process involving both human and non-human entities. Rather than experts shaping passive worlds, architects become inquirers, participating in more-than-human design assemblies and co-articulating their existence.
However, participating in these assemblies becomes more challenging when dealing with entities that have different capabilities and ways of articulating concerns and needs. One way to address this challenge could be for architects to design situations that enable them to learn to be affected by these entities, thereby putting conventional design practices and worldviews in crisis, and sensitizing themselves to practice their tricks of the trade otherwise. This way, they might open themselves to exploring new design pathways emerging from these encounters.

Micol Rispoli is an architect with a PhD in Philosophical Sciences from Università di Napoli Federico II. Working at the crossroads of architecture and science and technology studies (STS), she investigates the impact that the material-semiotic lines of insight of actor-network theory, feminist technoscience, and approaches to technical democracy can have for the transformation of design practice and its pedagogy. She currently works as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Environment, Land, and Infrastructure Engineering (DIATI) at Politecnico di Torino on a project that combines STS perspectives with multispecies ethnography in an attempt to move towards more-than-human design. Between 2019 and 2020, she spent a research period at the Stadtlabor for Multimodal Anthropology, a research platform at the Institute for European Ethnology at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. From 2022 to 2023, she taught at BAU, Centro Universitario de Artes y Diseño de Barcelona.
