This research deals with the cyberspace as the public space of virtual communities. It assumes that the involvement in virtual communities has changed people’s conception towards their response to the sense of space. It aims at investigating the effective properties of the cyberspace, and then the possibility of translating these properties into applicable and efficient features in the reality of the physical space. To examine the assumptions of the research, an e-survey was conducted on a sample of architectural students at Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST), who share the same physical space in their college and a cyberspace of their Facebook group – “ArchiGroup”. The research reveals students’ tendency to feel the reality of the virtual communities, and its milieu –cyberspace. Based on the results, the findings of the research recommend designers to consider the success of cyberspace while designing the physical versions. In addition, the research seems applicable on different models that employ different variables to investigate a mechanism of producing a physical space as productive as the cyber version, achieving the real version of participation.
