Preface




Cohabitation
is not only about providing spaces, but also adressing the social and political awareness to adapt to a new order. This consciousness embodies the political entity, appears in social activities, involving in the decision making process and empowering the nonhuman.

Cohabitation
redefines the intersection between nature and culture as a permeable perimeter, that has the ability to accommodate unexpected existence.

Cohabitation
repeats denials of human center perspective, makes anthropogenic constructions no longer deal with comfort, safety, beauty and property, but tolerance, communication and compromise.

Typology change
Is the statue of paradigm change, how can we imagine the typology of cross-species cohabitation?

Creat a bioton in a biotop,
the outside is not outside anymore, when the inside is not only inside.


I’m inside, the bird is outside,
but when the bird is inside, I’m outside.

we reflect ourself in each other’s profil.
When the boundary couldn’t make human and nature apart,
the intersection is the new order.

In the new order
human and nonhuman are the agency of each other.

Technology changes our life, as well as the swifts do.


As a human being in a living organism,
I’d rather love my equals.
