Emanuele Coccia and f.Roche_S/he.In 2023, architect f.Roche_S/he and philosopher Emanuele Coccia initiated a speculative dialogue that has extended beyond architectural investigation and subverted any established design and ecological approaches. Their typologically uncharacterizable collaborative works, The Chamber of the Past-Future (2023) and [n]Permanencies Tractatus (2025), along with their continuous discussions, are acts of sabotage within the intersection of architecture and other disciplines. They are constantly setting evolving boundaries among the relationships between human, nonhuman, and nonliving systems which are activated through mutating trajectories. f.Roche_S/he’s long-lasting understanding of the relationships between the intangible and the material and Coccia’s studies on the bond between nature, architecture, and humanity, as well as their comprehension of reality as constant metamorphoses, set the ever-changing non-rules of their joint work.
