On this post I have attempted to relate the outcomes of my older posts to conclude to some basic ideas that picture the evolution of architecture in megacities and urban design in extend.
The current architecture and urban development of megacities is characterised in terms of mobility by:
· the mobility of the citizens using several modes of transportation through well designed networks of transferration and semiotics which ensure the ordered, quick, secure and efficient mobility.
· the mass plyletic movements to the cities which is responsible for the multidiversity of needs, historic and culture backgrounds as well as the architectural styles in the cities.
· the rapid transferration of materials in abundance through great organised networks of transport and delivery.
· the direct (in speed zero) exchange of knowledge and information as well as the new technologies and techniques.
· the evolution of the direct internet communication through computers and handhold devices that has modulated the everyday needs for mobility.
· the form of everyday activities of the citizens and their needs to mobile according to those.
All the above guide to the passage from the mass production to the flexible and individual production not only in architecture but in design in general as well. It is a necessity to consider our cities as living hypostasis that never remain stable but adapt and vary according to the each epoch needs. Architecture should not be a result of static volumes and masses, we should emphasize on relations instead of mass in architecture and to consider that these relations might change during the time.
