Cybernetic Architectures: Informational Thinking and Digital Design explores the profound impact of cybernetic thinking on contemporary architecture. Over the past 50 years, technological advancements have equipped architects with tools that have enabled the development of new computer-mediated design methods, fabrication techniques, and architectural expressions. This book highlights how these technological changes, grounded in cybernetic models, have radically transformed traditional notions of design and the role of the architect.
The book traces the evolution of computational perspectives in architecture, explaining how cybernetic thinking—stemming from the early development of informatics—has shaped architectural design. It delves into the relationship between information technology in design and the conceptualization of architectural problems around an informational ontology.
