The ‘syntonic’ in psychology refers to an emotional responsiveness to the environment. Here Guest‐Editors Christian Derix and Åsmund Izaki explain how they developed syntonic systems that place an emphasis on the representation of the occupant‐user during a guest‐professorship at the Technical University of Munich (2012‐13). This was explored as a means of enabling students to bridge the gap between the mutually exclusive specialisation of the architect as computer programmer and architect‐designer.
