OUR MAIN RESEARCH QUESTION:
What can we learn from the way of movement in Rotterdam?

- Observement
- Communication

Cultural manifestation through human presences behaviour:
This project sees human presences and physical behaviour as architectural potentials from spatial construction of a public spaces, to place-making of a city.

Chicago big data projection mapping:
This integrated lighting installation brings the Chicago model to life through captivating and educational visual data sets and custom animations. By converging six projectors, each with its own unique perspective of the city, DCBolt was able to accurately map out more than 1000 individual buildings from all angles (Over 5000 surfaces). As this is merely a proof of concept, DCBolt designed the system with room for growth and looks forward to participating in its continued development over the next few years.
