On architecture AI and microbiology The theory of Co-Corporeality is based on a conception of
the built environment as a biological entity that opens up a space for coexistence and
interaction between humans and microbial life. Based on design-led research this book explores
how we can develop environments for a multispecies world. It focuses on the agency of both
human and nonhuman actors. New sensor tools enable observation of and interaction between these
different actors. Co-Corporeality links microbiology to material science artificial
intelligence and architecture. The focus is on how microbial activity can create new
protoarchitectural materials how living systems can be integrated into architecture and
cooperate along different time scales. How artistic interventions connect human and nonhuman
worlds through tracking systems and machine learning algorithms With essays by Rachel Armstrong
