Spatial visibility analysis of stationary activities around digital urban screens in Johor Bahru

With the growing dependency on technological advancement, both architecture and media technologies have intertwining functions and application. As most modern buildings are media infrastructures with sculptures of huge and massive facades, they serve as the backdrop of the city fabric. The use of cu...
