Body & Globe explores how since the nineteen sixties communication media and a radically increased individual mobility have drastically changed our perception of the world – and of architecture and urbanism. Where the individual body became a cyborg, a cybernetic organism, a human being with certain processes aided, controlled or replaced by mechanical, pharmaceutical or electronic devices, urban projects were suddenly thought in terms of a scale that could only be perceived as a whole from a position in outer space. Architecture became torn apart between fashion and design on one hand and the global scale of networks of communication and transport on the other.
