In 1999, with the movie The Matrix, the concept of a world that is torn between the actual and the digital, the virtual was introduced in a powerful way. Though at that time, the concept seemed far-fetched, when we look at the world now, we see how it has turned into reality. In this world architects face a challenge, as the protagonists of their buildings, the end-users engage with the built environment differently from how they did earlier. With smartphones and tablets we are constantly absorbed into the digital world. “As architects we are obligated to create a physical world. Is it a fight, a struggle, or is it something that we can be very symbiotic with?”
