Chose Picture

Illuminated
A new channel of communication satisfies the desire of consumption. The façade of the building becomes an interface for individuals in an urban context; the Facebook of the streets.
The residents use the façade fabric as a screen for watching TV, surfing the internet or just for the projection of an identity boosting symbol, which is seen both from the outside and from within. The act of dwelling contributes to the image of the urban environment. Heat, pulse and sound are other ingredients to the immediate collage of the façade.
Sound revolutionized films in the 1920s, mobile phones redefined telecommunication in the 1980s, and in the same manner façades of projections can affect the urban communication of today and replace consumption as a way of defining identity.
