The Architecture of Human Exceptionalism (eBook)

Eva Perez de Vega is an architect and educator, philosopher, and co-founder of e+i studio, an architecture and design practice based in New York City. She teaches architecture and design at Parsons School of Design where she heads the Multispecies lab, and at Pratt she developed the Ecological Cartographies theme for degree project thesis. She holds degrees in Architecture from the Polytechnic University of Madrid (ETSAM) and a PhD in Philosophy from The New School for Social Research, with a certificate in Gender and Sexuality Studies, as well as professional training from the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance. Through her practice and academic work, Eva advocates rethinking human exceptionalism by engaging architecture as a multispecies practice, choreographing spaces and environments that promote aesthetic innovation and ecological empathy. She lectures widely on topics related to architecture and ecology, animal ethics, and ecofeminism, and published her first book, Choreographing Space, in 2021.
