Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to suggest the epistemological and archaeological implication of augmented city and inscription of it, whichare actively being realized in the recent urban space creation, emerging from the historical changes of metapolis urbanization. From the point of reviewing the diachronic significance of the 21st century’s urbanism and its relation with the rapid growth of information and communications technology and digital media, the paper describes how the digital media revolution has contributed to various new features of urban space, such as hypertextuality and hybridization. As a conclusion, this study brings a key question on how to re-articulate what might be written on a city, and also reconfigures our memories, both personal and collective, which make us obtain new sensations from the city.
