virtual dimension - part 1

"

The virtual world is nothing other that what is, literally, in front of the user, space is defined not only as what is to be seen, but what is to be navigated and in a sense constructed by the viewer. This kind of interactivity and virtual landscape navigation is rapidly moving onto the Net, giving cyberspace the appearance and feel of being not just a place to inhabit, but a place to navigate, to move forward through, and in the process, to command and control.

"
An early writer on the architecture of cyberspace, Michael Benedikt, speculates that cyberspace ‘will require constant planning and organization’ that it will need ‘structures’ that will have to be ‘designed’ by ‘cyber architects’ who are ‘schooled in computer science and programming (the equivalent of construction), in graphics, and in abstract design.’

"
We have lost our taste for the monumental, the heavy, the static, and we have enriched our sensibility with a taste for the light, the practical, the ephemeral and the swift….We – who are materially and spiritually artificial – must find…inspiration in the elements of the utterly new mechanical world we have created, and of which architecture must be the most beautiful expression. - ANTONIO SANT’ELIA – ‘MANIFESTO OF FUTURIST ARCHITECTURE' (1914)
