Companion Spaces

Challenging totalitarian urbanism

'Companion Spaces' is a spatial platform that questions the totalitarian worldview in modern urbanism. This global architectural approach naturalises human dominance over nature, reduces complex non-human interactions to monocultures of utility, and promotes a singular, imposed mindset of how life on Earth should function. 


Inspired by Donna Haraway’s Companion Species theory, the intertwined, co-evolving relationships between humans and non-human beings evolve through the fragmented architectures of our modern human-centred world to co-create living shared environments. Just as Haraway challenges the separation between human and non-human animals, 'Companion Spaces' alter the boundaries between the urban and the wild, supporting habitats, movement, and multispecies connection in a shared, relational, and reciprocal environment.


These spaces challenge human exceptionalism, supporting mutual habitats for the benefit of all beings. 'Companion Spaces' encourage interdependence, co-worlding, and rich, beneficial interactions between human and non-human actors. Like George Monbiot’s vision of rewilding, Companion Spaces are not about abandoning civilisation but about enhancing it, "loving not man the less, but Nature more."
