Summary "The Virtual Dimension critically examines the role that digital and immersive technologies have on the methods used by architects, designers, and artists to conceptualize and represent both real and virtual spaces. Interdisciplinary in nature, the essays included here address the implications of "going virtual" from a variety of cultural and theoretical viewpoints."--BOOK JACKET
