Architectural Theory, Multitude, and the Anthropocene

One of the aims of this article is to examine how architectural thought can be placed into closer dialogue with Anthropocenic thought. It may be a broader collective task, but there is a need to create approaches and frameworks that link different fields, figures, ideas, and methods. Here I focus on some of the concepts and methods put forward by political philosopher and activist Paolo Virno and media theorist and educator McKenzie Wark. I interpret their thought in relation to architects and theorists Aldo Rossi and Diana Agrest towards an architectural theory for the Anthropocene.
