This dissertation has looked at recent shifts in society and implications of this process. A permeation of digital tools has rearranged the workings of society primarily by enabling incorporeal communication and through that a diluted essence of reality.
The current tools available to the architect have also been explored, as has their lineage been traced and compared to their predecessors. Inescapable traces of tooling have shown to be equally telling of the tools used, as of the persons involved.
Key concepts of virtuality and digital have been dissected and their mutual associations explored to reveal their workings and relationship to their everyday uses.
All of this has shown to have profound effects on architecture as a discipline, steering it into a new realm. The focus has become one of grooming virtual constructs in a digital environment. The skills utilized have previously been used for buildings, but the principles have remained the same.
