Abstract

We present Strata/ICC: a computationally-augmented physical model of a 54-story skyscraper that serves as an interactive display of electricity consumption, water consumption, network utilization, and other kinds of infrastructure. Our approach pushes information visualizations into the physical world, with a vision of transforming large-scale physical models into new kinds of interaction workspaces.
