...Admir Pancote; Alceu Souza; Claudimar Pereira da Veiga Purpose The research aims to explore architectural models for ISA that support strategic changes in organizations navigating dynamic and complex contexts. It seeks to identify how these architectures can preserve competitive advantages...

...Ensar Temizel Purpose The paper aims to recognize ARCHITRAINER, an interactive machine developed during the early 1970s, as a remarkable yet overlooked experiment in transdisciplinary research at the intersection of architecture, cybernetics, psychology and technology. It seeks to contextualize...

... specifically designed to comply with his desires (and not his needs) and defining the functions to be satisfied by the world (cultural and material) in which he wants to live. (Maturana, 1980a , p. 58) Design Ethics Architecture Second-order cybernetics Conversation theory Claudia...

... by drawing parallels between Heinz von Foersters’ criticism of moral codes and concerns about paternalism in designing architecture. Designers incorporate implicit ethical questioning as part of the recursive process through which they design their design activity, moving between conversations...

... of conversational customization in architecture along with the Woka, an ongoing research project that attempts to create a more conversational design process. Finally, the author will discuss the possibility of conversational customization in design as a possible solution to a more open and intersubjective process...

... Cloud utilizes a layered structure that corresponds to the Cloud architecture (Jafari Navimipour et al., 2014a). The architecture of Expert Cloud is depicted as four layers: Application, Management, Infrastructure and Resource layers (see Figure 1 .). The Application Layer not only provides...

...Ranulph Glanville; Ben Sweeting; Timothy Jachna Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a model of the architectural design process as a set of interlinked conversations, to explain the role of the artifacts of the design process in facilitating these conversations, and to demonstrate...

...Ranulph Glanville; Ben Sweeting; Vahid Vahdat Zad Purpose Geometry, as the visual depiction of mathematics, has always comprised a major communicative language in architecture. Thus, geometry has traditionally been taught in architectural education to produce the perspective view of spaces from...

...Ranulph Glanville; Ben Sweeting; Claudia Westermann Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relevance of second‐order cybernetics for a theory of architectural design and related discourse. Design/methodology/approach First, the relation of architectural design to the concept...

...Ranulph Glanville; Ben Sweeting; Joanna Wlaszyn Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore current questions about metaphor, experience and aesthetic awareness that persist through the variations of critical approaches and projective research in architectural theory and practice. Design...

...Ranulph Glanville; Ben Sweeting; Ben Sweeting Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe the various movements from abstraction to actuality in the context of design, with particular reference to architecture, first in terms of the design process and second in terms of the interpretation...

... making. We still will not have cost control in services such as: … architectural firms and so on. We need new measurements – call them ‘business audit’ to give us effective control. It may take years, decades perhaps until we have the measurements we need...

.... Design/methodology/approach After discussing the peculiarities of architectural practice in Brazil, the paper presents C3M's design methodology, which is based on the creation of three models (“conceptual model”, “analogical model”, and “scale model”); a case study is presented and the results...

...Ranulph Glanville; Peg Rawes Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine shared principles of “irreducibility” or “undecidability” in second‐order cybernetics, architectural design processes and Leibniz's geometric philosophy. It argues that each discipline constructs relationships...

...Ranulph Glanville; Mette Ramsgard Thomsen Purpose This paper aims to discuss the conceptualisation, design and realisation of a robotic membrane. Presenting research taking place between the cross‐over among architecture, technical textiles and computer science, the paper seeks to explore...

... Modelling Black box Design Circularity Architecture Butades, a potter of Sicyon, was the first who invented, at Corinth, the art of modelling portraits in the earth which he used in his trade. It was through his daughter that he made the discovery; who, being deeply in love with a young man...

...Wolf Pearlman Reviews experiments in design and urbanism, intervening in the development of transdisciplinary systems theory for decision‐making organizations. Presents beyond state‐of‐the‐art phenomena, of a morphological and topological type (out of architecture), and advocates harnessing...
