dc.description.abstractThis MDP examines the means by which a connection can be formed between virtual spaces and reality through architecture. It investigates the effects mobile technology has on spatial design, and envisages how the public spaces of cultural centre in Calgary could be infused with situated technologies. Traditional typologies of cultural , commercial and community space are confronted with spatial transformations caused by continuous connectivity to virtual communities and networks of information. Using contemporary notions of digital interactivity, a framework is generated to deal with ideas of architecture as an interface to virtual space. This framework discusses how the utilization of Ubiquitous Computing through interactive surfaces, bits & atoms, and ambient media can enhance the experiential qualities of the architecture, without technology becoming invasive or distracting from the purpose of the architecture.
