Meta‐Virtuality: Strategies of Disembeddedness in Virtual Interiorities
Journal of Interior Design, EarlyView., 2022 ABSTRACT To reclaim their seat in the rapidly growing market of virtual space, designers of the built environment can benefit from reevaluating theories that see the virtual as a mere extension/reflection of the physical. By claiming ontological autonomy from external worlds, the virtual is liberated from the hegemonic control of the physical.
