Abstract

A city as defined by aesthetic principles and compositional patterns no longer exists. Form is out and interactions are in. Behavioral patterns stemming from individual preferences redefine what is commonly shared and agreed upon. Now inhabitants not only live in the city; they author it with their daily activities, personal communications, and consumption patterns forming an intangible layer—the invisible city--of interconnected networks, momentary media presence, and human-to-object interactions. This new dimension of the city puts in question past urban theories and organizing principles. This paper looks at the legacyof the past theories as well as new upcoming drives that will define urban frameworks in the future. It specifically identifies the emergence of identities, autonomous agents, and interconnected networks as formative elements of future cities.
