In the text, “The Disregarded Tools of Modern Man”, Stafford Beer provides commentary on the current state of our culture, equating the omnipresent force of gravity to that of the influence of the institution upon our society. He warns against the inherent danger of allowing such entities to operate with ubiquity while practically invisible to our society. Beer proposes that our society use its tools, such as the computer, teleprocessing, and cybernetics, to redesign its institutions rather than bolster them. This would involve what Beer refers to as regulating the system through variety absorption (and not variety attenuation) to arrive at the ‘Law of Requisite Variety”. Thankfully, Gordon Pask makes a more salient effort at relating Beer’s thoughts on cybernetics back to the field of architecture in the appropriately titled, “The Architectural Relevance of Cybernetics”. Pask looks to modern tools like computer aided design and building information modeling as resources for connecting physical architecture with its inhabitants through cybernetics. Pask issues a need for a systemic approach that merges architectural components (i.e., structure, facade, etc.) with human components to form the basis of what he refers to as mutualism. Through mutualism, he states, architecture can reach its inhabitants with a higher level of organization so that the inhabitant can cooperate with a building, and not just within it.
