Accelerated Space Part 2 Dissertation 2019 Adam Moore Queen's University Belfast | UK Architecture is a timely, organic process that is struggling to keep pace with the current accelerated paradigm. Virtual space is stepping in to fill the void, with the town square morphing into a digitised flow of bits presenting itself on the infinite ‘wall’ of media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. Multiple revolutions in history have altered the way humans view and experience time. Beginning with the cosmic time-keeping apparatus of dawn to dusk, then shifting to the accountable and demanding ticking of the clock were every second counts. Shifting now into a new experience of time, digital time, which is incomprehensible to humans. It now operates on sub-second speed and humans are striving to transcend to this new digital time which begs for humanity to surpass the needs and limitations organic bodies no matter the cost. Accelerated space provides an infinite stage of self-expression for virtual selves which will outlive the limited lifespan of organic bodies. Adam Moore Tutor(s) Greg Keeffe
