  • In this interview, William J. Mitchell, a renowned US architect and theoretician, and former Dean of the School of Architecture and Planning at MIT, explains his theories on the redefinition of space determined by the changes brought on by IT in society and culture, the relation between networks and architecture, the merging of both virtual and physical spaces, the effects of mobile technologies on the perception of distance and space, the economy of presence in terms of the changes produced by IT, and the re-evaluation of place.
