Description

For the Amstel Campus we\'re researching the possibilities of embedding interactive elements in the facades of the buildings and see how we can use these interactive elements to create a landmark for the campus.

Working out the final concept

Hi there!

It’s been a road with twists and turns over here. Ideas have been thought up, changed, reverted, rearanged  and shuffled on a daily basis. The concept is pretty solid now, and the design is being worked on. Curious? Artist impressions will follow very soon. Thijs Kok has been working on drawings for us, which we will use to pitch our concept and to show you what we are up to.

We are now getting in contact with parties that can help us realize our concept and implement the final product. We have been talking with The Inventeers for example, a company that we will be working together with to create the technical/electronical part of the concept. With the help of Marco Cops we are finding out what materials to use and how to create something durable and – we are in the Netherlands after all – hufterproof!

Here is a little sneak preview of a paper and post-it beta version of our concept. Give it up for analogue techniques!
