Abstract :The integration of cybernetic principles into architectural discourse has led to a profound transformation in the conceptualization of architectural entities. Cybernetics redefines architecture as a dynamic and responsive entity, capable of communication, interaction, and adaptation. This paradigm shift is exemplified by the Fun Palace project, which envisioned architecture as a living organism dynamically responding to its environment. Marcos Novak\'s concept of liquid architecture further elucidates this transformative paradigm, emphasizing architecture\'s fluid adaptability in digital realms. Realizing these transformative qualities requires architecture\'s integration into digital space. Extended Reality (XR) technologies serve as a conduit for this integration, enabling architects to transcend traditional limitations and reshape spatial environments. Through a rigorous inquiry into the convergence of cybernetic principles and XR technologies, this research redefines architecture in the digital age. Two workshops serve as case studies, demonstrating the transformative potential of this symbiotic relationship. In conclusion, this research sheds light on the symbiotic relationship between cybernetic principles, XR technologies, and architectural design, offering insights into transformative possibilities. By redefining architecture in the digital age, this study paves the way for a new era of architectural innovation, where creativity transcends boundaries, and the built environment becomes a dynamic expression of human imagination.
