Mapping the Emergent Hybridities of Urbanism: New Spatial Praxis Types

Zusatztext

The present study investigates the new roles of the spatial praxis, as formed in the contemporary context of urbanism. The challenges and possibilities of re-orientating the spatial praxis are investigated in conjunction with the unresolved discords regarding the issue of (re)presentation that has dominated philosophy, cosmology, mathematics, cartography, software engineering, animation, network visualisation, art, architecture and numerous other fields. New ways of designing the emergent hybrid spaces of urban interaction through mapping the untamed waves of the datascape are discussed through the study of the changing urban condition and in particular, of the site as a field of interactive urban flows, the urban neo-nomads and their trajectories. Giving a physical form to those hybrid spaces, poses as an important possibility and challenge not only for contemporary architecture, but also, for the spatial praxis across a number of related fields including site-specific and media art, drawing, interaction design, urban and social studies, e-communication and many others.
