It was not imaginable for me before having this experience. When you experience an intercontinental flight, despite its psychological impacts, you can experience some of the weirdest situations in which you are doubted whether you are asleep or awake. The experience of flight in 20^th and 21^st centuries is completely comparable with the train issue of 1800s. The narrow space which we can call the way becomes smaller and smaller, to little fractions of what it once was, and on the other hand, other spaces become greater each day. The map of world which is updated every minute on a big screen with new positioning can completely illustrate the image of this sudden change in aspects of the space. You pass cities like they are blocks of a town in each of which hundreds of thousands, if not millions, live. Through this journey the other factor is your local time which is changing constantly; if you are flying west you’ll experience a day less than 24 hours and if east, vice versa. After landing, even your axis of standing in a three dimensional xyz system is not the same as it was before takeoff. Imagine all this facts of a very sudden change and how they can rapidly change your perception of time, space and yourself.

This can be considered as an example for losing self-consciousness. You’ll need some time to redefine your relationship whit the new system of time-space. As a very personal experience it took a while for me to stop having dreams about my hometown when I was here. If we consider dreaming as a projection of sub consciousness we can conclude that my sub consciousness tried to resist against this rapid change.

After 18^th century, when architecture was still human’s “will to order”, architects tried to impress people’s perception of time which has a key role to understanding events; it needed a higher technology, if not a couple of thousand dollars flight ticket. This change has fundamentally changed our concepts of architecture itself. After that architecture was always willing to employ techniques to impress our sense of continuity with the surrounding world. This is like how we develop clocks to impress our time perception.

Now after centuries of trials the question is if 21^st century architecture with all possible techniques can impress us in a way it never did before or maybe architect’s will to novelty will lead architecture to actualize what we saw in science –fictions.
