No longer are we in the times where we experience places by visiting but we can experience every part of places just by the 'convenience' of our living rooms. But that at the same time seems extremely dangerous and deceitful. Take for instance the Guangzhou Opera House by Zaha Hadid, when comparing the real vs the virtual, the difference is quite big. In the virtual reality the building embraces the shear brilliance of zaha and her stylistic way approaching architecture but in reality it is a poorly built and poorly detailed piece of architecture that honestly made me lose a little faith in my worship of her architecture. In the digital age we are in endangering quality- why build something to immaculate detail when most of the people that are visiting the place are mostly visiting it online? <br /><br />uscaau.wordpress.comAnita Whttp://uscaau.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
