Reading of Post Modern Public Spaces As Layers Of Virtual Images and Real Events

The relationship between real and virtual spaces has produced a new urbanity, extending from post modernity, deconstructivism to super modernity. By creating virtual metaphors and mental maps of different spatial layers within post modern cities, public spaces are experienced as sequential images and overlapping layers of events as they emerge. An urban experiment is introduced that proposes a conflation of urban spaces mapped into fictional terrain of perceptive imagery and virtual reality. There is a need to deconstruct the contested post modern city, with the current paper aiming to examine the fragmented multi-layered nature of public spaces in an attempt to emphasize the nature and institutionalization of post modern spaces. This will try to unravel conflicting forces that when initially encountered resisted the subversive rhythms of deconstructivism that challenge the stable institutionalized construction of space.
