Abstract

It is generally recognized that the introduction of information and communication technologies in our different areas of life has led to significant changes in the process of organizing cities, public places and daily social life. However, the nature of these changes is not constant and changes depending on the quality of the technological tools and where the technology is applied. This paper attempts to prove that the concepts of space and time have changed radically because of the new forms of accessibility and connectivity provided by ICT applications, which attempt to dissolve the boundaries between the public, private and semi-public areas of the place. The spatial structure of the modern place is not only physical and not only digital, but a combination of them. A concept such as "hybrid space" may be useful to some extent, but a more flexible, less abstract, and more generalized mental image is needed. The paper concluded with a review of a new method of how to reconstruct the public space on campus by using a set of technological tools that achieve the spatial qualities achieved for the interaction characteristic of territoriality, privacy, identity and ambience
