This is a different format attempting to communicate the virtual world of information systems. Which on its own has a certain aesthetics and adds new demensions to the information communicated; however, on its own it lacks the context of reality, the physical world and the interation/experiance with people.
As stated in an earlier post, "the Virtual gives meaning and significance to existence", it also works the other way, the Virtual isolated with no connection with reality is completey pointless and possibly impossible. As human beings we live through interacting with reality, in trying to understand reality and our environment we create abstractions, a virtual process and it is through abstactions that we attempt to improve our reality and our environment. Therefore, it can be seen that the virtual plays a huge role in shaping out physical reality and vice vera.
As such the interaction between the virtual and physical reality or human experience is crucial in all design considerations or explorations.
Architects with their core skill sets, have a unique opportunity to take advantage of our current environment in which the Virtual realm is becoming ever more dominate and integrated in our lives and there are opportunities for Architecture to play a beneficial and positive role in shaping this growing Virtual world.
A future post will attempt to explore interaction between the virtual and physical reality or human experience.
