Gordon Pask, as one of the leading figures in the field of cybernetics, had an extensive impact on architecture through his lifelong connections with architectural circles in the UK and the USA from the early 1960s until his death in 1996. He is mostly known to architects by his collaboration with Cedric Price on a number of occasions; however, his affiliation with architecture include several other instances that involved designing architectural projects, teaching in architectural schools, writing on architectural issues and more. This paper aims to review these instances to scrutinize how his discourse on architecture unfolded in time by addressing his evolving understanding concerning the relationship between architecture and cybernetics. In doing so, the paper examines key aspects of his own work in relation to key instances of his relationship with architecture

Reclaiming machine intelligence: the paskian school of architectural cybernetics
Temizel, Ensar; Mennan, Zeynep; Department of Architecture (2022-2-09)
This thesis brings together a series of attempts aimed at creating architectural machines or environments inspired by the field of cybernetics from the 1950s to the present. It particularly dwells on Gordon Pask’s (1928-1996) diverse interactions with architecture and design communities and conceptualizes the research emerging from those interactions as the “Paskian school of architectural cybernetics.” It examines how and why Paskian concepts and ideas have continuously been of interest to architects as a ...
"Organic architecture" and Frank Lloyd Wright in Turkey within the framework of house design
Sönmez, Filiz; Aytaç Dural, Tuğyan; Department of Architecture (2006)
Nature has been a source of inspiration for many architects, one of them being Frank Lloyd Wright. He re-interpreted the principles of architectural design by searching nature and uncovering its hidden dimensions to introduce his idea called organic architecture, at the onset of the twentieth century. This thesis aims to discuss the offspring of this idea in Turkey, with the awareness of the fact that the Turkish examples of Vernacular and Local architecture have always displayed great concern towards natur...
The architectural precedent and the diagram: a comparative analysis of Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye and Rem Koolhaas' Maison a Bordeaux
Küçük, Alper; İmamoğlu, Vacit; Department of Architecture (2007)
The last decade of the 20th century witnessed a revival of interest in the idea of diagrams in many disciplines, including architecture. Thus, terms like 'diagram architecture' and 'diagrammatic practice' have started to dominate the architectural discourse, both in theory and practice. Although much of the contemporary work examined under the rubric 'diagram architecture' celebrate diagram's capacity to generate new ideas and forms and embrace the diagram as a tool to revolt against the authority of establ...
Karl Popper's Architectural Legacy: An Intertextual Reading of Collage City
Kömez Dağlıoğlu, Esin (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2016-01-01)
Colin Rowe and Fred Koetter's book Collage City has been one of the most inspiring works in the field of architecture with its elaborate and stimulating critique of Modernist and Post-war architecture and city planning. Published first as an article in 1975 and later as a book in 1978, Collage City has been one of the cornerstones of postmodern architectural and urban theory since. Philosopher Karl Popper's ideas on historicism, utopia, tradition, liberal society, etc. had a great influence in shaping the u...
Doubling: “italy, the new domestic landscape” as a historical project
Mutlu Tunca, Gülru; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2009)
Italian architectural historian and critic, Manfredo Tafuri, with his seminal book Theories and History of Architecture, issued in 1968, started a new era in the architectural discourse. With his eminent theorization of “architecture as the critique of ideology,” Tafuri had shifted the critique of architecture to a political and Marxist level and this revolutionary understanding had absolute impacts on the institutionalization of the American critical discourse after 1968. This study is a historical critici...
