Fibercity is a proposal aiming at a paradigm shift of urban planning and architectural design away from
their modernist thinking. Although many criticisms and proposals have been made against the modernism of
the early 20th century, it has still been held as the major principle in society and economy, as well as in the
field of art. It is still convincing that the role of modernism has not yet been fulfilled since the idea of
freedom or equality which formed the basis of modernism has not yet been realized in a perfect manner in
the world. However, environmental problems, the decrease of population in some countries, and the credit
crunch of the last year have aroused mistrust in the concept of growth which has been the backbone of
modernism. It is my understanding that modernism cannot resolve all of the problems in the ‘real world’ with
only partial fine-tuning.
