I must agree that the medium affects the resulting object and that
computers are changing the objects FORM and SPACE itself, just as
perspective changed space in Reborn movement.
In the reborn movement perspective didnt just changed the way architects
represented their objects but as a matter of fact the objects were
designed to be seen from one point of view.
The difference between todays Virtual Reality is that objects are to be
seen on the movement following the principles of modern movement.
Virtual Reality is not for showing a preview to clients but for the
architect too. How many times have you designed a space and found later
that there was too low light? How many times did you have to make a real
scale object just to make sure everything works as you wanted to?
If this means nothing to you than I sincerely question your work...
And if we are using computers in every aspect of our lifes, whats the big
deal on changing Space?
I think that the really problem was if we were using computers in our
lifes and let computers out of the design process...
