A new informational landscape in augmented urban space: Augmented city and semiotics of digital urban markup

The aim of this study is to suggest a new informational landscape in augmented urban space and its epistemological and semiotic implications, which are being manifested in the recent urban space creation, emerging from the historical changes of metapolis urbanization. From the point of reviewing the diachronic significance of the 21st century´s urbanism and its relation with the rapid growth of information and communications technology and digital media, the paper describes how the digital media revolution has contributed to various new media features of urban space, such as hypertextuality and hybridization. As a conclusion, this study brings key questions on how to re-articulate what might be `written´ on a city, and also to reconfigure our memories, both personal and collective, which make us obtain new media experiences from the urban space.
