Our final project for the course ARC232 (Architecture, Media and Communication) was to produce a journal that charted out our understanding of the coined 'New Space', analyzing some of the roles 'New Space' undertakes in society and predicting how future trends may appear.
'New Space' refers to the dynamic Internet-based system with categories ranging in wireless systems, social-networking systems and broader of the changing role of the consumer in society through the Internet. I chose to approach this broad topic in three main units:
-Unit 1: The City- Understanding the phenomena of mapping via computing/Internet along with seeing how urban fabric is being/could-be altered by technology.
-Unit 2: The Building- Looking at the (changing) notions of privacy that technology has brought in the dwelling plus the ubiquity and future of technology.
-Unit 3: The Individual- Analyzing the social cultural transformation brought about by technology along with the shift to interactive decision making by individuals and the implications it can have on society.
