Design/methodology/approach – Further considerations focus on the advanced technological possibilities which re-invest the relations between principles of cybernetics and architecture.

Findings – The current between art and architecture is more than ever manifested in fields related to the computer sciences and its conceptual background: cybernetic sciences.

Originality/value – The paper re-thinks the aesthetic value of architecture and architectural experience in this time of digital productivity.
