The Spaces of Science Fiction and Cyberpunk: Oase 66 (9789056624286)

Fritz Lang's 1927 film Metropolis marked the dawn of a cinematic tradition in which the relationship between architecture and science fiction is central. Since then, architectural elements have played an important role in the representation of scientific and technological developments, in such a manner that it creates a convincing vision for the projected future, as architects devised visionary plans for the city and society. Oase No. 66 examines the intersection of architecture and science fiction in light of today's information technology, the network society, the perception and experience of the environment and virtual space, and 'cyberpunk'--a genre in which virtual environments are created using computer technology.
