My building is my display: Omnipresent graphical output as hybrid communicators
Odilo Schoch · Repository for Publications and Research Data (ETH Zurich) · 2006
This paper presents an innovative approach towards the possibilities and challenges of the built environment as a multidimensional graphical output device.The near future will witness every single part of a building being digitally connected.Consequently, buildings themselves can be novel media for communication especially of graphical content.Buildings and cities will therefore become gigantic 'displays' without frames or the classical fixed proportions 4:3 or 16:9.Architects should be able to deal with this novel 'material', as the appearance of their architecture significantly changes.
