Archipelago Town-lines is an app which will equip you with a new understanding of the contemporary urban issues, by making you travel across three key places of the contemporary urban scenario: Berlin, Beirut and Venice.
Through original photo galleries, video and audio contents and interactive data visualization features, the app is a new guide for the acknowledgment of the urban geography, history and lifestyle of these three very different cities. These places are taken as models for the analysis of contemporary urban trends, in order to propose a new possibility for growth.
The app features video interviews to prominent architect, urban planners and academicians, specifically produced for it. Audio introductions to each section allow an alternative user experience, while diagrams and maps offer a descriptive visual take upon complex urban phenomena.
The app is the result of a 3 year-long research of the three urban areas here discussed.
