City of Antwerp

Antwerp Tomorrow
MAS Pavilion

Antwerp Tomorrow is an interactive exhibition pavilion for the City of Antwerp in which you can discover urban development in Antwerp, then and now. Unfold was responsible for the concept, content selection, scenographic design, interactive installations and construction of this pavilion.

Center piece of the exhibition is a 5m long interactive touch screen experience in which you can discover over 100 urban renewal projects. A bas-relief map of the city intersects with this screen where the historic city centre is located. Touch the on-screen map and an interactive looking glass will popup giving you the opportunity to explore the historical growth of the city through 5 precisely aligned historical maps dating from 1600 till 1960. Never before has it been so easy to explore how the city grew, you can see for example how the shape of the City Park is influenced by the former Spanish city walls. This interactive map installation builds on top of an earlier interactive Verly map Unfold designed and produced for the nearby MAS museum. A projection, mapped to the bas-relief, continues the experience outside of the screen. This map comes to life with traffic, boats, clouds, roads and various other data. Projects explored on the touch screen are pinned on the map and connected with a projected line.
