Bottazzi, Roberto and Chora, RB, 2012, Show, Exhibition or Event, Xiamen Interactive Model
Abstract or Description: | The ‘Xiamen Interactive Model’ was part of the Xiamen City Energy Master plan (2009), commissioned by the city of Xiamen, China and exhibited at the International Energy Efficiency Building Expo in Xiamen in 2010. Bottazzi was working with ‘Chora’, a research-driven practice specialising in bringing urban design and energy planning together, and the Schools of Architecture in the Universities of Tunghai, Taiwan and Xiamen, China. His installation was intended to catalyse the development of an innovative climate-change master plan for Xiamen. Working with both physical representation and dynamic real-time information flows coming from a central computer, Bottazzi’s city model responded to visitors’ input, informing them of the energy consequences of their choice of proposed projects. The combination of physical and digital modelling enabled users to interact more easily with the installation and understand the challenges of climate change in relation to their city. |
