There are plenty of examples where a building’s form or purely its facade turns into a communication tool. Facades, which are usually used as a marketing area in a crowded city, also function as a canvas for artists. In this sense, we have searched for projects, which are transmitting a message by appliance of different media tools such as 3D mapping, LED screens, light projections etc.
