The alliance of architecture and media occurs on three main levels:
First of all, architecture itself is a medium, just as language, text and symbols are. It not only conveys, processes and records reality and its meaning, but also produces it.
Secondly, architecture is represented in the media. Architecture circulates in media. These media in turn present themselves, in structure and discourse, as having the ability to define architecture.
Thirdly, architecture replicates itself virtually. New technologies allow for the creation or simulation of a completely individual architecture of "artificial worlds" and bring forth new typologies of immersive spaces. At the same time, architecture always serves as a prototype of such immersive spaces.
