Abstract

Urban experience has become complex with simultaneous and alternate choices, and experiences are created by the dynamic flows of people, fluidity of material/immaterial entities, goods, information, etc. Drawing discussions from various disciplines, which share similar interests in exploring the consequences of media technology on place-understanding, this chapter explores an architectural approach adopting multiple perspectives, as a way of surveying over and above, and from within. Here, two main sets of understandings are provided, first, mobile media technologies as tools that change the understanding of place by moving from and seeing over and above the physical limitations, thus allowing our understanding to go beyond the barriers of physical borders. Then, by zooming in and seeing things from within (not from above or what we refer to in architecture as the human eye view) we propose technologies as Socio-Formative spheres that could reconstruct our place relationships from within the social and cultural threads. One objective of this is to provide a framework for understanding theories and literatures of place after the advent of media technologies, through approaching from “over and above” to view “from within”. Building on the literature that studies aspects of place-understanding in relation to media technologies and juxtaposing existing materials, our approach offers insight into a relational understanding of place that is also contingent on frames of observation.

‘Transcendental technologies’ is a concept coined by geographer Kellerman to refer to all technologies that help to overcome physical and perceptual borders of understanding (airplane, aerial photography, transportation, information transportation, automobile, telephone, internet, and mobile communication devices).

By frame here we refer to the conceptual boundaries that defines objects and distinguishes inside and outside of an object, entity, or even a concept. Frame has a strong relationship with observation and observer, and without an observer and without the act of observation, frame cannot be perceived. Objects and entities are comprehended differently according to the frames we choose to observe them. In this discussion we use a term, Frames of observation that refers to the frames through which we observe, investigate and understand the world around us and this concept (frames of observation) is employed as a linking concept between technology and place.

Vertex is a metaphor to refer to a line that relates to two things/objects, the concepts of line, vertex, actant, are metaphors that are used to refer to connection and association between entities.

Hjorth studied the role mobile media played for students to (re-)connect to place—and particularly their home—whilst they were away. By studying the Chinese mobile media application QQ, she argued that these mobile media are reinforcing the multiplicities of what constitutes a sense of place. Users of the application were able to reconnect to their family and keep their original ties, which were relocated outside the physical space of home.
