300 Year Anniversary Of Karlsruhe, Germany
Architainment content from Live Design: Karlsruhe Palace was erected in southwest Germany in 1715 by Charles III William, Margave of Baden-Durlach. The city of Karlsruhe developed around it, and today it has grown to be the second-largest city in the state of Baden-Württemberg. Now it celebrates it 300th anniversary with multiple projection and video mapping displays on the facade of Karlsruhe Palace.

This is a really beautiful design, but I did not necessarily get right away that the display was showing the history of the city. That being said the interpretation was incredibly eye pleasing. The use of warm coloration throughout most of the opening show is incredibly eye pleasing. Especially because the aesthetics are consistent through the show with the exception of dramatic accents and moments. This display reminds me of a guest speaker the lighting department had a few years ago, CMU alumni that had this software for video mapping for this exact purpose. They had done a show on Buckingham Palace ad actually brought in a model to demonstrate to the class. It was not nearly as mesmerizing as it was flipping through colors, which is part of the reason I am so intrigued by this projection show. What a cool way to start off a celebration of 300 years.
Projection mapping has been the new and innovated way to celebrate anniversaries around the world. Through the use of graphic media design and multiple projections, a story can be told through projected images on any building. Manipulating the structure and surface to tell a story. It's incredible to see that projection mapping allows you to make a building look like it's crumbling without even laying a hand on it. Finally entering the coding world at CMU, I hope to learn this process in the IDEATE program. This seems to be a very common mapping project. So in a way it must be a doable project. Maybe I can get a group of people and map one of the buildings on campus. It would be a wonderful spectacle and could be used for publicity in the future for incoming students or any upcoming events. I know I would love to see that happen on campus.
