Coles The New Technological Condition: Architecture And Technical Thinking In The Age Of Cybernetics at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Electric brain or creativity?
In the era of cybernetics, architects suddenly
encountered entirely new ways of operating technical systems: buildings
could be calculated using circuit diagrams, creativity and imagination
were confronted with the technical intelligence of thinking machines.
Architects found themselves in the crosshairs of cybernetics. At stake
was nothing less than the continued existence of the architect’s
inventive intelligence in a techno-scientific world. Today, we
see computing machines, once so heavy, losing weight while gaining
power. Computers are fully colonizing the human environment, creating
their own digital ecosystems, and giving rise to forms of society and
ways of being that cannot even be explained without big data. Available
for the first time in English as a new edition.
Cybernetics—a hitherto neglected chapter in the history of architecture
A critical look at the relationship between architecture and information technology
A new chapter on the issue of Big Data and architecture
