Our faculty member\u00a0Ensar\u00a0Temizel\u2019s newest article, \u201cCan a project survive obsolescence? Lessons from Fun Palace and Kawasaki,\u201d has been published open access in The Journal of Architecture (Volume 30, Issue 4\u20135). In this study, Temizel offers a comparative reading of Cedric Price and Gordon Pask\u2019s Fun Palace and the lesser-known Kawasaki project to explore how architecture driven by computer technologies can remain relevant even as those technologies become obsolete. The article argues that these visionary projects owe their enduring significance not to cutting-edge hardware, but to a cybernetic model of human\u2013machine interaction that treats buildings and users as parts of a learning system, capable of genuine two-way interaction over time.
