Virtual Architecture


What if you, being here, could be a virtual presence anywhere.

What if you, being here, could be a virtual presence anywhere?
Virtual Reality technology made possible to immerse and experience worlds and environments perviously unthought of. Speculating on this premise, we can envision that technology can serve to create a novel form of space and therefore architecture, where users can participate with their own bodily presence in an environment that augments aspects of both the real and virtual. To prove the previous, the author developed “project Anywhere” where multiple users can immerse vividly in a virtual, interactive world, which they can control and manipulate in real-time. Virtual space, with its emergent properties of heterotopy and heterochrony, serves as a novel platform for architectural speculation. Virtual architecture, the content of these environments, is immaterial but sensible, and unhindered by the limitations of the physical world can be made to resemble -transport us to- anything real or imaginable…
