GLOBAL CITY: THE HIGHWAY FROM 'LOCAL' TO 'GLOBAL' CROSS THE CITY

This lecture deals with informational patterns on spatial issues. The goal was to investigate and develop a framework, able to organize and visualize the complexity of the data that deal with hi-end technology, the city, the architectural design and the construction process, in general.
This project wanted to investigate the possibility of how the hi-end technology aids the reading of urban and architectural space (i.e. museum), and to examine how the geographical informational systems influence the architectural and urban design.
The scale becomes a crucial tool as an informational medium between the citizens and the space. Time is a structural element in creating a sustainable environment for the inhabitants.
