Timothy Jachna

Timothy Jachna is an academic researcher and co-author of the 2017 book Cybernetics: State of the Art, which explores cybernetic principles in architecture, urban planning, and design. His work bridges historical cybernetic theories (e.g., Ross Ashby, Gordon Pask) with contemporary applications in automated infrastructure and socio-ecological habitats, addressing challenges in the Anthropocene era.

Research Interests

• Cybernetics in architectural design
• Human-machine mutual relationship frameworks
