This study discusses the formation of mediated space as a space which combines actors and entities across the real and virtual environment. The study of mediated space in architectural discourse largely emphasises its experiential aspect, and only a few studies explore the formation of mediated space and the architectural elements which spans between the real and virtual environments. This mix of real and virtual environments is made possible through the involvement of the screen as the technological device that mediates the connection between them. This study investigates this process of mediation, focusing on the framing strategy of the virtual environment on the screen, in order to establish an engagement with the actor in the real environment. Understanding this formation process can further inform the potential of virtual space as the setting in our spatial practice, expanding the existence of architectural space.
