ArchitectureWeek Description
A exploration of the ways in which urban spaces and places provide settings for communication — how they conduct complex flows of information through the 21st century city. To urban objects and labels have been added a layer of meaning through the flow of digital information. In a series of essays Mitchell examines this emerging system of spaces, flows, and practices. The endless flow of information, he shows, is not only more pervasive and efficient than ever, it is also generating new cultural complexities. Amazon Customer Average Rating:
