Patrick J. Hickey is an architectural designer focused on reinterpreting ideas of post-modernism into a new age of post-humanism to directly address to the deconstruction of human genealogy.   Post-modernism presents the notion that the singular “Human” is not the center of the universe, but rather “humans” as a collective are the “new” center.  From the 1970’s to the 1990’s, these ideas were prevalent from architecture all the way to government, i.e. post-colonialism and critical race studies.  However, the rapid growth of technology presented the flaws in this practice that stem from human error.  The volatile social and political climate of present day reveal that “humans” cannot ideally exist as a central group, without division from social prejudices such as dis/abilities, race, class, ethnicity, nationality, and gender. These conflicts are deeply rooted in the human evolution, having directly shaped the natural environment as a reaction to these outdated ideologies, leaving erect a built world that has the potential to breed the same problematic cultural identities.   Post-humanism introduces technology as a “neutral good”, comparable to how humans biologically identify the natural environment.  These new technological capabilities allow for a reimagining of the world left by past human social groupings without physical destruction or academic dismission.  Patrick’s design premise aims to present equity over equality, by taking into consideration oppression and marginalization of specific groups to create a new design language, emphasizing an appreciation of culture, history, and the responsibility of finding current day solutions to the problems of the past.
