Her work focuses on cybernetics + architecture within the discourse of defining computational architecture as a relational focused discipline between technology, human and nature, a socio-ecological system. Werner integrates her systemic approach into the development of cybernetic design strategies for architectural and urban challenges. Werner founded her computational Master Studio Codes in the Clouds at DIA Dessau in 2010, exhibited at Tongji University and the Venice Biennale. She lectured internationally at MIT, CalArts, USC, Texas Tech, The Bartlett, Syracuse University, Nottingham Trent University, Kassel University, Linz and ESARQ Barcelona and other schools, is regularly invited as jury member and peer-reviewer. She was awarded the George N. Pauly Fellowship to join Carnegie Mellon University as a visiting Professor (2012) and acts as Adj. Assoc. Professor at Taylor’s University, Malaysia (2014-2016). Werner chaired several international conferences on computation and advanced architecture, edited “[En]Coding Architecture” and “Architectural Ecologies – Code, Culture and Technology” and is partner of the Bertalanffy Center (BCSSS, Vienna) for Systemic Design. Werner is member of the Scientific Committee eCAADe Milan 2015, CodeBiology, ISSS (intern. Society for Systems Sciences) and the American Society of Cybernetics.
