CYBERNETICS AND THE EVOLUTION OF COMPLEX ADAPTIVE LIBRARY

[Honorable Mention][FYDA Competition][Team Competition][2014]

"Cybernetics and the Evolution of Complex Adaptive Library" is a competition proposal suggesting, the modern learning process has transitioned from traditional physical spaces known as study rooms to more digital formats, thanks to advancements in cybernetics. Today, individuals no longer sit in quiet rooms poring over ancient texts for information; they can easily obtain what they need with a simple click. In this project, we've visualized the contemporary learning process as an adaptable complex system where "study procedures" emerge within a public spatial system alongside other desired processes.

More specifically, we've developed a website where people can track others' interests, research, and studies; they can interact and choose to set up a discussion session. The requirements for these discussions help to shape our architectural needs or the spatial system. This spatial system can adapt itself to the environment and elements like functionality, structural components, and aesthetics, which form our basic parameters. These parameters are optimized on our server, where we've set up various rules and functions to create an adaptable, sustainable architecture.

In conclusion, the learning process falls into two categories:

  1. Study: This occurs in a comfortable, homely atmosphere that emulates our homes.

  2. Think, Create, and Show: This emerges in adjustable, adaptive spaces generated by people's interconnections.

The final structure and form lead to a self-organized library that adapts to its users and the environment.
