This presentation gives examples of various applications ranging from digital experiences in corporate briefing centers, flagship retail and education facilities, to video activations of glass curtain walls in mixed-use developments, to iconic large-format public art canvases and immersive sculptural “digital placemaking” installations in transportation hub facilities. These examples are shown in the context of how they enhance the built environment by creating a sense of place and have a positive impact on the social wellbeing of occupants. This course will also elaborate on how the design of these systems is integrated within the architectural design process through pre-contract and post-contract design development support, how they are physically installed into new or existing construction, and the associated facility impacts, and ongoing support requirements.
