Information in all kinds of different media are being digitized and made available increasingly global and widespread by the development of computers and the internet in the last three decades. This enabled the explosive growth of a hyperlinked network of information. By the increasing connectedness of technologies people, buildings and geography are added to this hyperspace. Just look at the emergence of online social networks (like myspace, facebook, etc.), mobile communication, the Global Position System (GPS), Geographic Information Systems (think of Google Earth) and more and more advanced logistic management using coupled databases (like amazon.com) in the last few years. The ever growing network now contains stuff in both the 'virtual world' and the physical world. In Archtctr2.0 the spatial language of architecture is used to visualize and navigate the immense network connecting information, people and geography. An architecture is created in real-time to let you explore your network of friends, information, people; almost everything. The nature of the project is of experimental research. The main question is: Can a spatial (architectural) 'interface help us making sense of the ever growing complexity of people and information around us? And if it can; how do we design these spaces and this interface? The challenge lies in both the technical as in the 'psychological'; how do we 'help' people navigating, browsing, structuring, searching the network around us?
