“…Other events, including for instance the 1962 Conference on Design Methods (Jones and Thornley, 1963), the Society for Industrial Artists and Designer's (SIA) 1964[1] The Measure of Design (W. A., 1965), and Cook's Phenomena Day, must also be acknowledged. From that decade onwards, many artists and designers experimented with computers; and work of professionals such as Hayes and Davidson (1993) expressed the influence of Pask's though.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to study a series of exchanges between cybernetics and the arts, focusing on Pask's lifelong envisioning of the so-called information environment (I.E). It follows the author's previous PhD dissertation which was concerned with the exchanges between systems research and architecture; Gordon Pask et al.; and a couple of outstanding architectural projects related to systems and computation. Design/methodology/approach -This paper was mainly supported by archival research of Gordon Pask's Archive (held at the time by his daughter) and Cedric Price's Archive (held at the Canadian Centre for Architecture); supplemented with interviews and bibliographical research (research was made possible by a FCT grant -POCI 2010). Findings -The paper details and discusses exchanges between the fields of cybernetics and the arts; and it focuses on Pask's lifelong exchange with architecture and the manifestation of his ideas in this field. One highlights, among others, Pask's exchanges within the British milieu and the AMG during the 1960s and 1970s; the seminal manifestations of his main C2 achievement -the Conversation Theory -in the field of architecture; and his later architectural performance.Research limitations/implications -The previous primary archival research conducted at Pask's daughter house, is being expanded by the author through use of new material. Originality/value -This paper is intended for historians of sciences and the arts. It briefly overviews Pask's well-known main works and, in addition, it includes reference to some rare little-known materials.

This study addresses a long-standing and wellrecognized problem in KM research, namely the lack of conceptual integration and a cumulative tradition. Knowledge management needs an overarching framework to unify and direct research. This paper reports on the development of such a framework. Elements of the proposed framework are created by synthesizing concepts from the systems thinking and critical thinking traditions. It is argued that the synthesis of aspects of Churchman's inquiring systems and Habermas' critical social theory provides a philosophically grounded, universally pragmatic framework useful in managing the complexity, and conceptualizing the richness, of knowledge phenomena.The key architectural element in this framework is Habermas' knowledge interests. Habermas' three knowledge interests (technical, practical and emancipatory) form a three-level integrating structure. Framework development consists of describing how four other design elements (Habermas' three rationalities, Churchman's roles, knowledge dynamics, and research paradigms) are positioned within this integrating structure.
