The approach of The Virtual Space Theory is to present a different way of thinking about familiar topics, as well as to bring together topics that might otherwise be considered mostly unrelated. This theory, however, is neither true nor false – it is simply a model of thought. Its goal is to provide a tool [...]]]></description>

The topics discussed in The Virtual Space Theory are often very theoretical, yet this does not mean that the discussion about them needs to remain detached or purely academic. Rather, its approach is – whenever possible – to reinforce the presentation of any theoretical idea with a matching visual example: a painting, a photograph, a [...]]]></description>

The topic of virtuality and virtual space is one of the most confused fields in contemporary culture, to the point that, for many people, its elusiveness is considered to be an inherent part of its nature. From such a point of view, any attempt to define virtuality is considered to be pointless, since what defines [...]]]></description>

One of the basic approaches of The Virtual Space Theory is that it separates the discussion of pictorial phenomena from that of the technical procedures used to create them.

Let’s take the following TV commercial as an example:



A common reaction many people have when watching it, especially for the first time, is to immediately ask “How [...]]]></description>

For most people, whenever the word ‘architecture’ comes up, the first thing that comes to mind is buildings: Apartment blocks or luxurious villas, seats of power or places of worship, public monuments or hang-out places – along with any other kind of man-made place that makes up the physical world in which we live. Additionally, [...]]]></description>

The Virtual Space Theory proposes a whole other way of seeing pictorial images. It may seem quite complex at first, but it is in fact extremely simple. It is a way of seeing which might take a while to fully get, yet it eventually becomes so natural and intuitive that it just seems obvious.

For many people, the word ‘virtual’ stands for anything that is seemingly unreal, elusive, or intangible, yet maintains some kind of existence on some other level of reality. In other words, it is something that exists on a metaphysical level. This can be related to the idea of alternative realities parallel to ours; or to [...]]]></description>

For many people, the word ‘virtual’ instantly brings computers to mind, and the term ‘virtual space’ conjures images of a vague mix of the Internet, cyberspace, and Virtual Reality. Indeed, computers have introduced countless abstract and intangible phenomena into our lives, and the media hype around them has stirred our imagination as to what they [...]]]></description>

The year was 1994. I was a student at a school of architecture, fascinated with architecture as a means of expression, yet personally disillusioned with it as a profession. The time was also the dawn of computers and the Internet as a part of everyday life, and it was not long before I set out [...]]]></description>
