REGIONAL REPORTBRUSSELS A.Kuhk / J. Verleye Departement Architectuur Sint-Lucas Brussels
introduction • Neighbourhood contracts • The initial proposal • Indispensableadjustments

How to communicate design for neighbourhoods in change? Combine available techniques: digital city modelling, GIS information projection, rapid prototyping scale models, interaction and interface design, multimedia links and connection to image-databases With attention for following requirements: reliable, accessible, easy to learn and non-intimidating. relating the people to important proposed changes in their everyday surroundings, pulling down knowledge boundaries Resulting in a double interface: web and projector application for private and public use PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT [M.
