Zenetos’s Electronic Urbanism treats information as an architectural material capable of reorganising mobility, habitation, work and infrastructure. From the 1950s onward he developed tele-management, tele-work, tele-services and tele-education as elements of a city in which advanced communication could reduce the need to transport the body as an information carrier. His suspended urban structures were conceived as flexible systems whose services could be replaced as technology evolved, while autonomous living units and all-purpose furniture linked bodily position directly to communication interfaces. The operative contribution is distributed information. Architecture no longer coincides with a continuous mass of built matter; it becomes a layered environment in which physical supports and immaterial communication systems jointly organise everyday life. The wider bridge is to network urbanism, telepresence and digital infrastructure. Zenetos is especially useful because he insists that fluid conditions cannot responsibly be treated as permanent data: the architectural system must remain capable of reorganisation as technological and social structures change.
