| Popis: | PurposeThis paper aims to discuss the possibility of joining cybernetics and architecture as a continuous and open process, bridging design, construction and use, in that which is called cyberarchitecture.Design/methodology/approachIt develops the hypothesis that cyberarchitecture can benefit from taking the virtual into account in the design process, so that the architect is no longer the author of a finished architectural product, but of a set of instruments with which users can design, build and use their own environments simultaneously.FindingsA set of design principles is systematised and examined in three practical realms of design: urban, building, and relational, showing cyberarchitecture's embryonic feasibility.Practical implicationsCyberarchitecture implies that architects are no longer authors of finished products and users, becoming designers of their own spaces.Originality/valueCyberarchitecture avoids the usual cybernetics approach based on control‐system, indicating a less predictive and, ultimately, anarchic path for architects and users. It focuses on architecture's intrinsic value as an event, indicating the possibility of a process‐based system, which only exists (or is organised) in present‐time, when users and instruments (or structures) interact. |
