Its title refers to the aesthetic and technological extension of the military-industrial complex, in which architecture, computers, and corporations formed a network of objects, images, and discourses that realigned social relations and transformed the postwar landscape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn-depth case studies of architect Eero Saarinen's work for General Motors, IBM, and Bell Laboratories and analyses of office buildings designed by Skidmore, Owings \u0026amp; Merrill trace the emergence of a systems-based model of organization in architecture, in which the modular curtain wall acts as both an organizational device and a carrier of the corporate image. Such an image—of the corporation as a flexible, integrated system—is seen to correspond with a \"humanization\" of corporate life, as corporations decentralize both spatially and administratively.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eParallel analyses follow the assimilation of cybernetics into aesthetics in the writings of artist and visual theorist Gyorgy Kepes, as art merges with techno-science in the service of a dynamic new \"pattern-seeing.\" Image and system thus converge in the organizational complex, while top-down power dissolves into networked, pattern-based control. Architecture, as one among many media technologies, supplies the patterns—images of organic integration designed to regulate new and unstable human-machine assemblages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMIT Press\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHardcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"highlighter--hover-tools\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"highlighter--hover-tools--container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlighter--icon highlighter--icon-copy\" title=\"Copy\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlighter--icon highlighter--icon-change-color\" title=\"Change Color\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlighter--icon highlighter--icon-delete\" title=\"Delete\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dunes.fyi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43692405719351,"sku":"","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/1109\/7399\/files\/TheOrganizationalComplex.jpg?v=1696799203"},{"product_id":"agriculture","title":"Agriculture by Rudolf Steiner","description":"\u003cp\u003eSelected by Miles Huston\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e8 lectures and 4 discussions, Koberwitz, June 7–20, 1924 (CW 327)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith this remarkable series of lectures presented in Koberwitz, Silesia, June 7 to 16, 1924, Rudolf Steiner founded biodynamic agriculture.
