Wigley started with a story where neo-futuristic architect, systems theorist Fuller and Marshall McLuhan, philosopher of communication theory, met for the first time in a eight day long boat journey. The brain storming took place about communication, urban growth, data, time, space and technology. They treated all these elements in as a living organism as a body with nerves and arteries joining each part and giving feedback. Doxiadis put his dots on a map for his works around the globe and made a spreading virus form. Pointing to the spreading form he criticizes that cities are expanding out of control. Cities are like complex nervous system of biological body determined by time not space. As the wheel came as the extension of human feet, the city started expand vastly, thus growth is determined by movement, speed and time, again not space, leaving aura. One complex network is juxtaposing to another complex network full of functions without shell holding shelters framed by shell. To hold this complexity a system is needed to stitch these small systems into a super system as meaningful organism. This reminds me of Pask and Beer.

 
In Varnelis and Friedberg physical space broke apart. Virtual space is putting walls in actual space making citizens consumers. Sense of public space changed dramatically with growth of networking and communication. Public space is becoming privatized. At that time Jean Jacob summoned her “the Death and Life of American Cities”. Urban community lacks in face to face interaction and communication. Auge’ s “place” and “ non place” both are falling apart as well. Her non places like airport, parking garage, freeways are now taken over by networks, creating new spaces of fast, vast private and public and Here I should recall Wigley, in this node an interface is created in between this physical and non physical spaces.
