My Thesis - Week 7

I've gotten to week 7 and this video is what I've to show for it. Please keep up to date with my thesis development here.

EyeStop by MIT's SENSEable Lab

How fantastic looking is this? This is a smart bus stop designed by the SENSEable Lab at MIT. The bus stop and information point provide a touch screen interface to access real-time information on desired routes, bus or public transport whereabout.



The bus stops and info points are going to be tested in Florence, Italy from this October. I'll be eager to see if these devices can combine aesthetic and functionality...and not be vanalised in the process. I really hope it works out because their concept work is gorgeous and their purpose is great.

NuFormer - 3D Urban Mapping

Projection on Buildings from NuFormer Digital Media on Vimeo.

This is some great 3D mapping by Dutch studio NuFormer. I came across this via Smashing Magazine and DivineCaroline. Could this kind of stuff become a permanent architectural component?
