Description
Verb Connection explores the impact of electronic technology on new forms of urban reality. As cities become increasingly intertwined with digital networks, the distinction between physical and informational spaces is blurring. This book examines the relationship between virtual connections and the role of architecture in creating physical links between people, programs, and uses. Featured works include projects by OMA, Atelier Bow-Wow, AUDC, and PLOT, as well as case studies on the Palast der Republik in Berlin, Chip City by Shinobu Hashimoto and Rients Dijkstra, and Sim City. By contrasting real cities with virtual ones created through computer-based simulations, Verb Connection sheds light on the complex interplay between physical and digital urban landscapes. Through its diverse range of examples and perspectives, Verb Connection offers insights into the changing status of the city in the electronic era.
