ABSTRACT : Our paper aims to understand the communication issues of the mediation practices of urban spaces proposed by digital devices of architecture mediation. We analyze the devices implemented to enhance the architectural heritage of the Cité Internationale Universitaire of Paris. The technical potentialities of digital devices question the relationship to architecture and remarkable. Because of the large capacity of storage and representation of digital devices, the designers have favored a mediation of the Cité international as an architectural ensemble and a place to live, while these two dimensions are absent in the exhibition.
