Notions like technological or biological evolution, as well as digital and post-digital
age have their origins in other disciplines. For architecture, the reflection on
digitalization is clear and straightforward methodological relationship between the
real, the virtual and the actual, overlapping of which is a spatial category. It is easy to
consider broader context of such deliberation to be cultural, political, economic or
neo-liberal, super-modern or post-postmodern can be easy, but, however the future
of architecture is seen, it is crucial to redefine the spatiality of human body whose
borders got blurred by technology. In order not to step too far away into the territory of
anthropology of such defined topic, we should limit our exploration to the analogies
closer to architecture such as relationship between software and hardware, nature
and technology, or myth and abstraction. In thus formulated sequence of things
states, such as, neoliberal capitalism, religiosity, or even more general like sense of
abstraction or inclination to surreal, can be classified as nature that confirms itself
through the thesis that What survives is allowed. However, architecture always
presented a radical cut in relation to nature, with a desire to redesign it. Bearing in
mind that architectural dreams always surpassed the possibilities of their fulfilment,
thus growing into the myths of power and infinity, the transfer between the real and
the virtual, on the road to actual that occurs today, can be considered as the same
process but two-way without being mediated by other media. This means that the
relationship of human towards oneself is the same as the one generating one's
relationship towards the nature, as well as the wish to adjust to oneself the same
dream that lead one to understand, by the nature of things, given role. According to
Heidegger etymological origin of the word being comes from the word to settle or
adjust (the environment). According to Donald Mertzel and Meg Harris Williams
architecture is comprised of petrified dreams. Per Gilles Deleuze actual becomes only
when the real transfers into the virtual and gains its new purport. For Maurice Merlo-
Ponty invisibility is an integral part of perception, while for Juhani Pallasmaa it is
more than that, it is the part of prelevance itself. According to Vincent Mosco sublime
infinity is the necessary depth of human image of the world, the same world in which
the evolutions of the creator and the created, according to Bergson, became equal.While Decartus' infinite series of unattainable returns us to the nature of Plato's
primordial-space.",
