Abstract
AbstractHaving arrived in the 21st century at a definition of architecture that is time‐based and responsive to the user, Stephen Gage finds ‘reliable conceptual tools that can be used to understand our craft’ wanting. He looks across to the rich seam of postwar cybernetics for inspiration. Drawing, in particular, on Heinz von Foerster's metaphor of the ‘trivial machine’, he urges us to transcend the reality of the predictable, creating the wonder and joy that is essential to architecture, through a dynamic relationship with context.
