THE ARCHITECTURAL FORM AS DIGITAL CODE IN THE AGE OF ELECTRONIC ECOSYSTEM 

Ada Kwiatkowska

Abstract 

The sci-fi literature expresses different visions of possible directions of the evolution of homo sapiens, from the vision of the world inhabited by the people and robots to the world inhabited by the people and cyborgs. The choice of definite scenario will have an influence on the future architecture. In the history of the philosophy and architecture, the body of human being and architectural form as well, were defined from different point of view: spiritual, organic and structural. The development of new technologies broke the barriers between the body and machine, leading to the creation of robo sapiens, and new generations of architectural forms e-structures, e.g. the optical camouflage, 3D-projection and VR programming, operating in the electronic ecosystem.
