In this chapter we discuss how the use of Organizational Cybernetics (OC) helps to identify the variety of needs to be considered in a planning-related intervention in a university campus and to influence the project design in such a way that the variety of services responding to these needs will also be increased. After a short description of some OC concepts and of the systemic methodological framework that has been used in this work, we present examples of application of this framework in four urbanistic and architectonic interventions on the UDC campuses.
