Abstract

The stablishment of the digital technologies and the electronic speed involves a progressive adaptation of multiples everyday aspects to his territory. The city and its architecture aren’t oblivious to these changes and they have to mix its tectonic character with the new technological dimension. The network connections are an epiphenomenon derived from the informatic speed that involves the acceptance of new architectural and urban models, open and digital models removing the orthodoxes and closed ones. This article aims at showing the basic concepts of those ones. For that purpose, we propose a paradigmatic model that describes the links between the speed as a magnitude and the spatio-temporal architectural concept to characterise the architectural models of the current paradigm. That way, in this paper we show the generative tendencies of the architecture and the city from the new fast imperative.
