Abstract

The term posthuman reminds agencies like robots or transhumans that will possibly steal the central role of human beings by defeating the humanities. As technology is linked to posthumanism, smart cities are usually interpreted as posthuman architecture and urban structures. However, what posthuman subjects and actors mean in terms of the architectural and urban realm is not clear yet since it is a pretty new term for architecture. This paper takes Rosi Braidotti’s posthuman approach to define and discuss the meaning of posthuman in terms of architecture and cities while developing new alternative meanings.
