Abstract This study aims to derive the media characteristics of modern architecture. In the theoretical review, Vilem Flusser's "Technical Image" is used to understand the structure of media and to derive its characteristics. Flusser's Technical Image is an image containing information created by digital devices. An image is generated by the program and instrument-operator of the device and contains information. The image transmitted to the prisoner is information that can be interpreted by imagination and given different meaning to each prisoner. Based on this, I will investigate the relationship between Rem Koolhass, Ito Toyo and SANAA through the media structure of Flusser. Contemporary architects, who have been involved in the study, explain the work through the images they have created and give the audience a freedom, not a functional limit, to create a chapter where potential events can take place. In conclusion, media through technical image have the potential to generate network dialogue through non-material information, enable the audience to interpret themselves, and demonstrate the possibilities of various events.
