In today’s world of Data, where everyone is surrounded by it, we feel it is important to connect the data to the real world because it influences not just at the urban scale but also at the global level. This can be achieved by creating an interactive virtual environment through architecture. The idea is to go beyond virtual contextualization by creating an interactive virtual environment through reflection and artificial intelligence. Going back in history, the first virtual image created was through reflection, which changed the path of art and architecture, be it Arnolfini portrait or the House of Mirrors, Prague by Harold Davis. Seeing how vital reflection was crucial in changing the path of architecture in past, it is necessary to explore how it would affect the virtual environment and architecture of the future. To investigate this possibility, we used an image as our source of data because we feel it is a powerful way of expression and one of the most readily available data found among every human being. In order to get a perception of this data from the image, we developed artificial intelligence which helped us to transform data into an interactive virtual environment.
