This paper is centered on the use of video-communication and tele-collaborative applications in temporary architecture. Today we live in an electronic society in which computers, mobile phones, Internet have become integral part of our everyday lives. Architecture has to interject the new space characteristics: fluxes and interrelations should become the goal of research. This approach has three significant characteristics: unification of real and virtual worlds both input and output, tele-contiguity between remote participants, convergence of amplified perceptions and sensible spaces. Tele-contiguity is superintended as an improvement of body materiality through sensory amplification and not as an impoverishment of human sensory system: the system should support an environment that looks like a natural and functional extension of the space that people use in their everyday activities.
