Urban cybernotopics: The metabola image

Abstract

The development of a machine-information civilisation deconstructs metaphysics and changes mentality. The requirement of nonlinearity of thinking in urban planning is one of the most important aspects of its genesis. The continuum of consciousness and life arrangement cannot be reduced to chronological or logical onedimensionality and unilinearity. Within the framework of the new scientific direction of cybernotopics, which studies the mechanisms of regional identity, this approach implies the development of the contours of metabola image creation as an expressive artistic means of making a capacious, multi-channel aesthetic message. Restoration of the historical identity of a settlement is possible on the basis of creating its image as a metabola.
