What has become of our cities? You can't tell where one starts and the others end. The cities have expanded so much that cities have merged into one. What happened to the dramatic entrances of cities with the gates and arches telling you have entered the city. Now your lucky if there is a sign to welcome you. Some technologies have changed how we move about cities, you can tour a city without even going to it. The city never sleeps. There is no longer restrictions to when you can go to a city. With electricity there is no real difference between night and day.
Some technologies are making what was once a big city die. Moving people to where the work is. Creating Ghost towns within cities.
And What has happened to Architecture? Is there a possibility for new architecture? Technologies have changes the way we use our cities without boundaries and limits, in time and space do we design for that and create new architecture within the virtual realm or in reality. or both? Will this change our city? Do we want our cities to change or do we continue to overexpose our city?
