The build environment changes. The process of it can not be lead by a programmatically language that defines how elements, functions and forms have to be positioned in space and time. We project but we can not predict an architecture city language. A sociological, a religion, a political and a self-organizing environment are the protagonists of this complex game. These actors move in different patterns through our build environment in today’s society. They follow certain rules able to present the city as a complex urban game. Each pattern becomes a complex logbook that we have to read and to understand in order to interact with the different game members: the city and the citizens. The results of this dynamic play reveal a new interaction and let us change the urban cityscape. Today’s rules are set to play the game. The players profit them making strategies but the sum lies in the hidden dimension. Each game gives a stimulation to let us act, react or to move in a certain direction. As we codify the information, we take action and change position through space and time. Despite the described rules we make our personal interpretation of what our private sky is all about in today’s changing cityscape.

Quincy Jones, and John Lautner. Thes
