In der Epoche der Kybernetik sahen sich die Architekten mit neuen operativen Möglichkeitsräumen in technischen Systemen konfrontiert: Gebäude wurden durch Schaltdiagramme errechnet, Kreativität und Fantasie wurde die technische Intelligenz von Denkmaschinen gegenübergestellt. Im Fadenkreuz der Kybernetik befand sich der Architekt selbst. Es ging um nichts Geringeres als das Fortbestehen seiner Autorschaft in einer technologisch-wissenschaftlichen Welt. Heute erleben wir, wie die einst so schweren Rechenmaschinen an Gewicht verlieren, doch an Macht gewinnen, wie Computer die Umwelt bevölkern, sich eigene digitale Ökosysteme schaffen und Gesellschaftsformen und Existenzweisen entstehen, die sich ohne Big Data gar nicht mehr erzählen lassen. Als Neuauflage erstmals auf Englisch erhältlich.

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.

Elektrogehirn statt Kreativität?

Electric brain or creativity?
