Abstract

Cyberspace is created through the confluence of global electronic communications networks and technology, and also meant to be a three-dimensional space of information. Its application in arts, however, requires broader views and knowledge and often results a confounded definition of it. The study is to define cyberspace and the architecture in it, with the methodology of the structural criticism, focusing the textuality without any impression or intuition to reach its valid epistemic definition. Two architects in cyberspace; Novak and Lynn, and their works have been discussed and analyzed reflecting Benedikt's theory of cyberspace which has coined its definition in architecture in early 90's. Lacan's subject theory, including the mirror stage, has played a key role to evaluate the identities and the differences of various views towards cyberspace. It also enables us to construe the on-going status and meaning of cyberspace and the architecture In it.
