ABSTRACT
The Covid19 pandemic has sparked a renewed focus on multispecies connectedness. Current architecture and design research tends to prompt design for multispecies cohabitation, yet we must also study the multifaceted issues already arising from connections between humans and other species. We therefore explore how multispecies connectedness is created and maintained by way of the built environment through field studies in Copenhagen’s post-pandemic urban nature. We analyse six examples of multispecies architecture and launch three typologies: (pre)cautionary exclusion, pragmatic co-existence and staged connectedness.
