article⁄Building is a Network for Living in: Toward New Architectures (2005)
abstract⁄Our societies today are beginning to think, communicate, interact and live differently as everything in the human world is beginning to be networked wirelessly at the speed of light with everything else in the world including architecture. This article looks at the big picture and outlines a series of recent developments in digital technologies that would enable architecture to become sensate, supple and globally networked at the speed of light. New thinking, new commerce, new polity, and new architectures are emerging out of the apparently disparate yet closely related design and technological inventions. We are on the verge of moving from the outmoded notions of space and time to the postspatial notion of sensate and supple spacetime.
