This book lays the foundation for new lines of research, new pedagogical approaches, and new ways of practicing architecture that critically engage with the spatial logics of social media as an integral part of contemporary architectural culture. * Marina Otero Verzier, GSD, Harvard University, USA * Innovative, this book offers a fascinating reflection – both in words and images - on the multifaceted relationship between social media platforms and architecture. It will no doubt become an essential reference for the many students and researchers interested in better understanding our contemporary relationship to space. * Léa-Catherine Szacka, University of Manchester, UK * With a sharp and original synthesis of media studies and architectural theory, Javier Fernández Contreras offers one of the first systematic frameworks for understanding how social media is redefining domestic space. * Davide Tommaso Ferrando, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy *
