Two architecture students from the Architectural Association in London, Jorgen Tandberg from Oslo and Yo Murata from Tokyo have designed a beautiful new bat house in the UK.  Artist, bat enthusiast and client Jeremy Deller verdict: “It’s great, I wouldn’t mind living there myself.”

It makes no matter to me, my wife or the cat, especially the cat.

A Monstrous Architecture Part 1

The influence of bio-politics has reached a level of saturation in architecture and architectural practice. No longer are architects primarily concerned with simply constructing beautiful and functional structures but are increasingly obsessed with the role and position of life and living system in their projects.
