In his lecture, Thomas E. Hauck presents the concept of Animal-Aided Design (AAD) – an innovative planning approach that systematically integrates animals into urban design processes. Unlike traditional conservation measures, AAD does not treat animals as disruptive elements to be considered post-design but as co-designers of urban spaces. The process begins with the early selection of target species, whose specific life requirements – such as food sources, breeding sites, and shelter – are incorporated into the design on equal footing with human needs. The lecture will explore both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of AAD in landscape architecture and urban development, including the challenges and opportunities that this reorientation towards a post-anthropocentric approach brings. Organized as part of the 'Living Thresholds : Towards Cohabitation in Architectural Design' exhibition, in collaboration with the National Museum of Natural History.
