Reality is no longer what it used to be. As the world transitions from the physical to the virtual, a crucial question arises: who do we want to be as humans? The increasing time spent on devices is gradually taking away from our time in the real world, as we eagerly embrace the virtual future. As we reshape our work, play, living, education, and retail lifestyle, architecture must also adapt and redefine the essence of our public and private spaces. The challenge of our time is to navigate seamlessly between these diverse realities on the spectrum between the physical and virtual worlds. As we progressively embrace technological advancements in medicine that enhance our bodies, society will also begin to embrace the experiential, three-dimensional realm of the virtual METAVERSE.

This book is a three-year exploration, research, and case studies aimed at expanding the tools of architecture for creating within this new reality. It delves into the possibilities and challenges of living and dying between the real and virtual worlds, offering insights and perspectives that will shape the future of our existence.
