Arch: New Babylon Reconsidered

new babylon ends nowhere (since the earth is round); it knows no frontiers (since there are no more national economies) or collectivities (since humanity is fluctuating). every place is accessible to one and all. the whole earth becomes home to its owners. life is an endless journey across a world that is changing so rapidly that it seems forever other.

from Mark Wigley, Constanst's New Babylon: THE HYPER ARCHITECTURE OF DESIRE
(Rotherdam: OIO Publishers, 1998)
