Abstract
Aims: This research aims to plan a new intellectual system in the interdisciplinary space of two social phenomena, media and architecture, with the help of theorizing based on paradigm rethinking and with the aim of creating a concept. It requires understanding the meaning of episteme in Foucault's literature, temporal identification, i.e. the age of the current media leap: the Anthropocene era, and the description of the communication model, i.e. fusion.
Methods: With an approach based on the paradigm of modern materialism and using an algorithm inspired by Peirce's method, the theories of the field of media and architecture are taken as data and combined with analogy and induction, and the results are analyzed. A report is created. Considering the extent of this system, the writer has used the data combination of McLuhan's theories, the philosopher of the media age, with architectural data by designing an example.
Findings: The findings obtained from the research of historical theories in the field of media and architecture form a system of conceptual propositions in a post-qualitative context and by using the writer's creativity.
Conclusions: This research indicates the possibility of military creation of knowledge based on a rhizomatic report that can be read with Foucault's literature called architectural episteme in combination with media in the Anthropocene era, which can be analyzed in the context of the research approach and can probably be considered as a legacy of contemporary architecture to establish a fundamental structure in interdisciplinary studies in the field of media and architecture.

Abstract
Aims: This research is based on the undeniable impact of modern media on all aspects of human life, including architecture, and subsequently, the urgent need to study the history of media evolution and the theoretical foundations governing media, on how the media affects architecture.
Methods: The current research has benefited from Benjamin's theory of mechanical reproducibility as an accepted theory and tried with a post-qualitative approach to readout of new concepts from the placement of architecture as media and art in it. So the deep relationship between architecture and media could be explained.
Findings: Since all the media have stepped from the traditional one-way format to the new media with interactive and two-way communication, architecture has also benefited from interactive concepts. The help of other media has been obtained, which makes its access more universal and more reproducible.
Results: It seems that although the mechanical reproducibility of architecture as art has been realized with the help of the exponential growth of media in various fields, and architecture as a media and with the help of other new media has entered a new stage of its evolution, which, by looking at the foundations of media, aims to give a dynamic role in the process of creating space and providing benefits to its non-passive audience, the universalization of art, instead of liberating the audience, can also lead to a reduction in the depth of aesthetic experience and greater dominance of the capitalist system over artistic production
