Architecture & media
The split between physical and digital spaces is obsolete, as they are now intricately intertwined, influencing and impacting each other seamlessly. Our social lives occur across media, in transmedia spaces whose design and regulation nobody takes responsibility for. As we gather through multiple layers of media we merge environments and create possibilities for meaningful exchange between people globally as well as further opportunities for manipulation, inequality, and concentration of power.
The internet enabled social interaction in and around previously disconnected physical spaces and digital assets, turning the formatting of information into the shaping of unprecedented transmedia realms. As architects we have a plural understanding of the public realm that is at once experiential, practical, and legislative. How do we contribute to the shaping of emerging transmedia worlds in ways that align with values of openness, inclusivity, sustainability, and fairness?
