When a village develops into a city, it means urbanization took place of the idea of the focus of life, railways and roads shaped the spatial structure of the city. This is the idea I want to convey in this video.

A man travels around, he find there is a remote control in front, and there is a big button says “START” and other buttons with different words on them. When he presses the “START” button, something is falling down from the sky. That is a house in Tetris shape which can be controlled by the remote control with its position and direction, it is the same with the tetris game. He uses the remote control to place the houses falling down from the sky on the ground. After he places all the houses on the ground, it becomes a small village with random settings of the houses but he feels happy with it. Then he gets into the village, he presses other buttons on the remote control, all the buildings are growing taller, and the village becomes bigger with lots of tetris houses. It has become to a city. People come to this city and build the city, he feels very happy about this.

The Influence of Information and Communication Technology on Spatial Development and Planning

http://cumincad.scix.net/data/works/att/6fff.content.03978.pdf

One of the driving forces of the rapid development of our society is the new information and communication technology, ICT. The application of ICT means we will have both conventional, physical settings and the virtual world functioning at the same time without replacing each other. ICT influences the society with various aspects, such as production and service, location of offices, wireless communications, housing, traffic, land use planning, etc. By the use of automation in industrial processes leads the reduction of labour, and the relocation of production to cheaper places as some enterprises are restructured to network companies. Virtual education and telemedicine are developing fast and the service standard has been improved which make everything easier. Good and fast connections bring flexibility to work with cost-affectivity. Wireless connections and communications will have a great impact on human life and human interaction. As services and commerce will happen more online with networks, traffic will be reduced, emails will replace the traditional postal services, and the separation of work and home will disappear. The development of cities and regions because of ICT will be successes by considering their own benefit from the opportunities new technologies provided and the changes in their production, marketing and delivery, virtuality will also be a new key function.

The concept of my final video is about to explain the evolution of architecture which is expand from Assignment 2. Evolution of architecture has several parts: by considering the machine in architecture, architects considered about construction of a building and stability into the plan of a building and its operation, this leads the conflict between Form Idea and Matter; form Idea was a set of geometrical proportional operations, but Matter focuses more on material and physical size. However, the architects concern more on how to find a plan which the maximum service can be archived through the smallest number of people rather than creates more usable spaces with less material in mechanics. Later on, as the way of people think, perception and live changes through the time, the architects focuses on how to gain higher hypertectual picturesque quality, which leads details, spatial construction, natural and materiality become more important in the design process, and landscape becomes a natural accessorizing feature of the building.
