Technological Paradigm and the Social Life of the Metropolis (on the Example of Moscow)

The social demand for the realization of the multilayered process of the citizens' network interactions changes the face of the metropolis. Both dominant and ordinary buildings, streets, squares, parks, and water spaces are combined in a single stream of urban life. Buildings which have previously been designed to perform a single public function, operate in a new mode, which implies maximum complexity and flexibility of the functional content. User preference is given to an open-source environment. The task of translating new meanings and attitudes is assigned to the architectural designs of the urban environment, intended to ensure the social ascent of society to a new level of civic consciousness.
