ABS (Absari Shashi Shawal, Architectural Designer+Writer) is a creative individual who devises circumstances that will enable the earth to express situations coming from itself.

She follows a strategy of the post-Anthropocene that includes human, non-human, and post-human in architecture.

ABS adds, "Practicing architecture can serve as an example of how we can delicately and respectfully interact with creatures that are sometimes so old and so rare that our current methods of studying actually endanger them... ... ...Let's use this earth to open the door to new potentials in terms of solving complex progressions and new approaches for functional fabrication. This time, let’s save the earth by the earth." (Back to Earth, p52)

ABS is very much instigated by materials and tectonics along with their responses. She believes her projects are the child of culture and nature, and the revenge of the near future.
