This publication reconsiders the spatial logics of our information-embedded environment to provide new insights into the built world. This form of printed publication will be extended towards other kind of media, refering and anchoring the printed version to digital and electronic content. Information and encoding has a convincing presence in the proposed content as well as in the technological strategies at work. The ambivalent nature between built space versus information space will be historically traced, in order to speculate for the future.
John Harwood is an Associate Professor of Architecture at the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design at the University of Toronto.
