Sistemi cibernetici per la ri-definizione dello spazio architettonico. Cedric Price e i laboratori del cambiamento
2020
This paper investigates the introduction of the cybernetic approach in architecture, through the key-role of N. Wiener, G. Pask and their influence on the projects of Cedric Price in the Sixties. The analysis of two of his most representative projects, such as the Fun Palace and the Generator, aims to individuate the informatics influence brought to the spatial composition. Furthermore, the article will clarify the visionary though of the British architect concerning the impact of digital infrastructures on the prefiguration of the most recent responsive and interactive approaches in architecture.
Multiscalarity of Adaptive Architecture. The efficiency of micro and the resilience of macro in contemporary design
2020
Dealing with the multiscalar approach of contemporary architectural design raises the question of which architecture today is willing to accommodate a constant comparison between different scales, materials, and practices. It is believed that the processes that best show this purpose are related to resilient architecture, which elaborates innovative features through adaptive processes. With the introduction of external factors to the building as design materials, adaptive architecture can be considered as a transformative condition for some invariants of the discipline. The resilient and adaptive approach, therefore, uses technological elements, whose scale is Micro, embedded in the buildin…
