Communication is intrinsic to man, and is one of the main reasons for its enormous development in physical, intellectual and social level. Architecture and art developments are very attached to civilisational evolutions. However, communication proximities and communication technologies have ultimate influence regarding architecture developments. Since classical architecture, of whom we know Vitruvius, the dissemination of architecture is not only based on the presence of the architectural object, but on books with ideas and theories based on representations. The effects and their contributions to architecture developments are registered. The explosive mass media developments in the late 19th century is notice and responsible for innumerable developments in modern architecture. To this first editorial outbreak, follows periods of editorial lack, resulting from the two Great Wars. Currently, in a mass dissemination era, architecture evolves through reduction of time and space limits and architectural approaches in design and in theory, evolve along with it. What architectural developments results are achieved, regarding dissemination developments, through out history? How does communication developments interfere in architectural ideas, processes and critics? In this ongoing mass dissemination era, what is happening in architecture? What are the strategies? What are the politics? What are the results? You may participate as presenter of one paper, or observer.
