Thrilled and grateful to have the opportunity to work with Georg Vrachliotis and Birkhäuser as the translator of The New Technological Condition: Architecture and Design in the Age of Cybernetics, which highlights a fascinating and seldom discussed aspect of cybernetic history, published in November 2022
Excerpt from the publisher’s description:
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. […] 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
