I constructed the building as part of a research methodology during my PhD in Fine Arts in Design to observe potential frictions between humans and nonhumans. Architecture has traditionally focused on human-centered practices, emphasizing control over construction processes and creating internal environments that separate humans from their external surroundings. The growing interest in posthuman theories introduces the concept of nonhuman agency into this predominantly human-centric field. This research seeks to explore the potential tensions between traditional design practices, such as architecture, and the impacts of nonhuman agency on related design and construction processes. The building is viewed as an ongoing test site for further architectural and artistic explorations.
