This weeks tutorial allowed for exploration in groups about of the four different themes (Virtual / Flexible / Mobile / Distributed) and how they benefit an Australian Capital and its agents. Naturally, some were easier to explore than others.
Virtual was the most difficult, as there are so many connotations with the Information Technology world. I'm not naive enough to think that virtual technology won't increase in the future. Instead I believe that there is a place for both physical and virtual areas to interact. I'm particularly interested in how places can be designed so that they can have a psychological effect such as trigger memories. This may be useful in places where you are adding a new layer on something that is not used anymore? In this way virtual is defined as an unidentifiable and untouchable place, and rather in the mind.
