"The Virtual Dimension" critically examines the role that digital and immersive technologies have on the methods used by architects, designers, and artists to conceptualize and represent both real and virtual spaces.

From the Publisher
"This book will certainly be on my list of reading material for recommending to any student to assist their quest in joining the digital avant-garde."
—Neil Spiller, Building Design, UK, April 23, 1999
"Technophile design guru John Beckmann has rounded up most of the cybercultural elite for this survey of technology at the end of the century."
—Bookforum, Summer 1999
"The Virtual Dimension uncovers the newest frontiers for architecture albeit one still in its Wild West phase."
—Gavin Keeney, Oculus, May 1999
"Poised at the "continuous unfolding" between techno-culture and architecture, Beckmann anthologises essays from architect-theorists like Berkel and Bos on the predigital model of endlessness pioneered by Friedrich Kiesler back in the 30s and 40s and now realisable in the "multidimensional spatial experience" of computer aided designs like their Dream House together with the German digital urbanists Knowbotic Research on their networked topologies of their Tokyo10-dencies project."
—I-D, UK, May 1999
