Abstract
Our experience of the city, private or public, is no longer primarily influenced by physical built form but by various media, digital information, and communication technologies we interact with and through on a daily basis. The shift in influence not only blurs what used to be public and private space, but also modifies our behavior through space and time. Along with some of these technological transformations come new social situations, and with them new spatial practices will emerge. Precisely for this reason, I want to find out the trajectory of the current social situation influenced by information communication technology, and how it will alter future spatial organization both at the urban scale and the human scale. The aim of the thesis is to ask questions and also to provoke discussion of the relationship between cybernetic public space and the physical public space.
Highlights
On January 27th, 2011, while I was conducting research for my architectural thesis on how information communication technologies transform urban public space and influence the course of architecture, a social revolution occurred in Egypt
How should we describe these new social tendencies which are linked to ever-expanding global communications, and which created the corresponding private-public space?
Because of the changing interrelationship between people, we develop communication tools to allow us adapt the new social situations created by modernity and urbanization
Summary
As the networked world is about the virtual and the physical, the cities that we inhabit become the new playground for the emergent social-techno potential.
