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…
