Augmented Reality Technologies become popular because it gives us a chance to perceive the digital environment within the physical one. In this project, physical and virtual environments are designed simultaneously and affect each other. Museum was chosen as a program as a place for exhibiting the art and certain atmosphere for displaying new digital media. The way of interaction of a user and architectural environment is taken as a main navigation point of the design. User always needs a device for interaction with the digital environment, different device defines the type of communication, so-called ‘architectural language’. With Augmented Reality technologies applied to architecture, architecture has the potential to be changed and become a rigid hybrid between the physical and virtual environment to carry new media to show it most impressively.
