Architecture and Urbanism create built environments that intensify space to overcome time.  Architecture is about designing space and making place for people to live and work, while time is about creating systems for people to live by.  Transcending the boundaries of space and time, defying the limits of location and geography, cities have become artifacts that condense the continuum of time and place. The heritage of the past and the challenges of the future are defying the dichotomy of space and time which acquire different dimensions and multiple meanings.  Due to recent evolving communication systems, space appears to lose its physical facets, while time seems to constantly diminish.  Satellite systems, virtual reality, telematics and information age manipulate the design of space and articulate the perception of place.
