ABSTRACT

The contemporary city is a material and virtual plain emitting bits of information. Urban landscape can be defined by the points of view and review, departure and destination, focus and reference, ugliness and beauty. Urban plasma extends from the place of one’s presence to the present infiniteness. The last decade of the twentieth century contributed new phenomena to the urbanisation process, such as the creation of the global world-MacWorld or e-world, and global information network (Barber, 1997), changing the concept of man’s life and his environment from the mechanical to the relative, from objective to subjective, productive to sustainable, and functional to the fictitious concept of human activities and their settings (Kwiatkowska, 1997). The concept of the human being has changed from one described by the physical features of the body to one defined by Pearce (1995) as the visually oriented features of the mind.
