Stonehouse compiled area map (part 3)

Going back to the idea of the soul and aura of Plymouth I envision a merger of old and new along Union Street. Returning the area back to the thriving, fun playground it once was but in a modern/futuristic way. One half formed idea to represent this notion would be to have all the building brought up to a modern high standard, and have a purpose (i.e. nightlife), then project an image of the old historic union street onto the buildings exterior. For the buildings which can not be altered, like ‘The New Palace Theatre’ the same could happen in reverse, with a futuristic version of Plymouth being projected. This in my mind would capture the spirit from old and new, and create a new modern aura for the area.


As I say this is just one idea, but the potential is visible in works done by EMF Technology Ltd -Projection onto buildings for promotional purposes (mainly films). http://www.emftechnology.co.uk/
Or NuFormer Digital Media, they develop state of the art 3D projections. http://www.projectionsonbuildings.com/
