THE SILK ROAD: A NETWORK FOR THE CITY OF THE THIRD MILLENNIUM
The city of the third millennium is the place where information flows converge. We reinterpret the historical route of the Silk Road with a fiber optic network. A large network 10,000 km long between the Mediterranean and the Far East, a source of information and communication for the global community working together but in different geographical locations. In every city along the Silk Road there are wireless stations, a landmark, storage and dissemination of information flow for residents, travelers of caravans or of future speed trains. The towers are a micro-media space but also a symbolic focal points of the network society between global and local.
