This weekend the see conference, a conference on visualization of information, took place in Wiesbaden, Germany, for the third time.

Julien De Smedt from JDS Architects, Copenhagen, presented a showcase of his actual work. In his speech he focusses on the influence of visualization on the perception of space, and it was quite impressive to see the results of this approach.

Das überall sichtbare Merkmal unserer Zeit ist der Wolkenkratzer, der unser Wunsch, unsere Identität auf die Zukunft aufzuprägen äußert.
