There exists a complex global structure in urban development which is becoming self referential separating it and its satellite developments as entities un-to themselves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When considering creative practices, one should ponder the dilemma of social upheaval and how new-media technologies and networks can be used in producing alternate digital realities in physical space.&nbsp;Glass walls no longer provide opacity or even fluidity between the interior and exterior of structures, rather the invisible network of communication clouds the facades.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The internet provides a field of equality if the technology is provided on a universal level. The disconnect which is provided by the internet is another issue: are those who exist unplugged, living an alternate reality to those who are digitally dependent? If the answer is yes, which I am lead to believe it is, then how can architecture harness the strengths of digital media and then redirect it towards an equalizing and progressive urban space, and potentially non-urban spaces?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Radicalism is an&nbsp;associative term with terrorism and other destructive forces, however their is an inherent need for radicalism to grow into a form of pragmatic cultural critique. Radicalism needs a canvas, a location from which it&nbsp;can be projected&nbsp;and dispersed like an antibody into the social stratum. Radicalism in physicalized form could serve as an outlet of sacrificial crisis, providing a pragmatic framework for the reworking of flawed systems and the spread of ideological realism, furthering the promotion of truth in &nbsp;contemporary society and inevitably spaces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The universality and exclusions, which define modern urban space, lead to the destructive forces of post-modern architecture,&nbsp;to the&nbsp;removal of context and inclusion of exclusion&nbsp;in design.
