Electronic landscapes as urban culture

Lentos Museum of Modern Art in Linz, Austria. Architect: Weber & Hofer


La nueva arquitectura urbana es transparente y traslúcida, fluorescente y colorida. Puede ser transparente en un momento, en el siguiente traslúcida y luego tener figuras móviles. El Museo de Arte Moderno en Linz, Austria, es uno de los primeros ejemplos de la arquitectira dinámica.

Media becomes landscape!
"The screen technology in itself is becoming a landscape, challenging the border between a "natural" and "electronic" understanding of landscape itself.

Reading this new, digital landscape of the city as a cultural geographer, we can start understanding the cultural signification of the ongoing convergence of media and architecture.

The intentional use of digital screen technology in transparent or fluorescent building materials for projection of digital images on building facades is changing the meaning of both media and architecture. Thus to interpret this emerging electronic urban landscape, both as a cultural and socio-spatial landscape is of great importance."
