Manuals of Systemic Architecture - cyber-Garden v4.0

The cyber-Garden project embodies a cybernetic and machinic paradigm within the framework of a large 1:200 scale architectural model. Such attempt to combine languages and methods has a strong contemporary relevance. The ecologic and sustainable design ethos has become central to any architectural discourse but it’s still seeking more radical solutions to an accepted list of problematic questions. The project tests a design method centered on interbreeding architectural design with social sciences, ecology and cybernetics: the designer here facilitates communication between diverse and heterogeneous systems and ecologic regimes. Flows of light and nutrients, human care and physical contact or ecological stress analysis are allowed to contribute to the growth and evolution of an augmented architectural model, a 1:200 representation of a cyber-garden city.
