Sun 22.11.1998, 14:00-23:59

Virtual real-estate is working on architecture with using almost purely digital instruments. Apart from developing programmes to demonstrate architecture via 3D-renderings the ten-headed team increasingly works on interactive, networked 3D-environments for the spacial-temporal organisation, manipulation and visualisation of data as “information architecture”.
