I have usually heard about the term “cybercity”, and the readings help me to understand more about the cybercities, which is a world that could be said as a mix of the real world and the virtual world. In this kind of world concept, the boundary between reality and virtual reality is very blurry. After reading it, to imagine ‘cybercities’ which is more abstract, I imagine myself walking in a city when I am surfing on the Internet, when I want to get what I searching for, the way I getting access to the things in just like the roads in the city, including some of the option on Internet is just like a fork on the road. If saying that the city that we really live in is affecting our imagination to the cybercities, it would be like this.
For example, in the movie ‘Hacker’, the movie showed the cyber world with the visual that the ‘city view’ is conventional routes with circuit boards showing in skyscrapers ways. The way they show the cybercities has merged the characteristics of the real world architecture and the characteristics that show the world is in virtual, this may be the way that how our world and knowledge of the ‘imagined real world’ affect the digital architecture.
