Far from hidden, infrastructure is now the overt point of contact and access between us all—the rules governing the space of everyday life.

Infrastructure is ubiquitous.Beyond traditional physical networks like roads and pipes, infrastructure today includes invisible systems like microwaves, electronic devices, and shared standards for everything from credit cards to management styles. These elements are not just hidden substrates but the visible, everyday rules shaping our world.

Repeatable formulas dominate.Much of the built environment consists of reproducible products and arrangements engineered for logistics and profit, forming what can be called "infrastructure space." Examples include:

Global urbanism is formulaic.Entire cities are now constructed based on formulas, replicating models like Shenzhen or Dubai with generic skyscrapers. Infrastructure is no longer just the substructure but the very parameters of global urbanism, driven by logistics and the bottom line.
