Project launched April 2003 for http://www.arch.kth.se

We have used an abstracted model of the actual school building to introduce
the various facilities and venues the institution offers.

The 3d model coordinates are generated from a modeling program while flash
calculates the perspective projection, and gives scripted sensitivity
to the geometry so that the building responds to the visitors presence.

 Try the 3d flash model here. The top right navigation tool allows you to freely fly around, upon leaving the building it inverts itself.

The virtual building opens itself and fades into wireframe when it presents
the photographic images.

These are always visible fields of continuation that the visitor doesn’t
have to fly back to the aerial view. One can travel trough the whole space
in a nonlinear manner.
