“Lived Cyberspace: A Rehabilitation Center for Digital Addiction”

Surveillance, voyeurism and exhibitionism has had a long history. Today, there is the addition of the media as the main means to which we consume information.

From this condition, physical spaces have been collapsed into what is inside the screen, all other spaces left unimportant.

We all are voluntarily submitting ourselves into a modern digital panopticon, limiting our perception of physical space to the four corners of the screen.

This thesis investigates speculative means to reflect upon this current state of society, establishing changing relationships between architecture and technological advancements.

By translating virtual spaces into architecture and the landscape, this thesis attempts to show – through an architectural narrative – how the media have affected our perception of physical spaces, along with dystopian methods to rehabilitate and remediate.
