They are vessels for people&rsquo;s thoughts and emotions. Unlike cities, city models tend to be cold and technical. We are aiming to fabricate a city model full of life and expression. A model that can express the emotions that we experienced when reading the book through a changing atmosphere. Sadness can be rain, anger can be a thunder and happiness can be a sunny day. It is a conceptual project about adding behaviors and interactivity to architectural representations.<\/p>\n<p>The installation consists of two parts. The first one is the actual model, a static representation of an imaginary data-generated city. We are using natural language processing, sentiment analysis and urban design techniques to produce a 3D printed miniature of a city inspired by Italo Calvino&rsquo;s book &ldquo;Invisible Cities.&rdquo; The second part is about creating an interactive atmosphere that responds to human emotions. Using the Pepper&#039;s Ghost technique&mdash;an illusion from theater, light and sound, we generate different atmospheres that respond to the mood of the authors when reading the book. It is a theatrical dialogue between users and an Calvino&#039;s book, using the city model as media to express emotions.<\/p>\n<h3>Classes<\/h3>\n<p>Coding for Emotional Impact, Sculpting Data into Everyday Objects, Spatial Media<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alejandro Puentes Amezquita, Yiyang Liang Sculpting text into a city. http:\/\/itping.wordpress.com\/scupting-data-into-everyday-objects\/ Description Cities are alive.
