CityUps+

FESTA 2014、クライストチャーチ、ニュージーランドでCityUpsインストールの拡張。

CityUps+ is an Architectural Augmented Reality Competition supporting the earthquake shattered City Centre of Christchurch New Zealand. CityUps+ is a call for global digital contributions to expand the live architecture event CityUps as the headline event of the Festival of Transitional Architecture (FESTA) on 25 October 2014.

'The future will be live' is the title for this year's FESTA, which runs from the 24th to 27th October 2014. CityUps is the headline event of this year’s festival and takes place on the 25th of October. Its purpose is to rebuild High Street, the city's former central shopping street, for one very special night.

On September 2010 and February 2011 New Zealand's second largest city, Christchurch, was shaken by a series of devastating earthquakes, which left 80% of the central city destroyed. The rebuild is only just beginning to stir, now that the debris has been cleared.

CityUps will bring together architecture students from around New Zealand to present their vision for the future of Christchurch in the form of 1:1 urban scale architectural installations. It will also include digital installations from around the world! CityUps builds on Studio[]Christchurch’s LUXCITY event at FESTA 2012, which brought over 20,000 people back into the vacant city centre.

At FESTA, CityUps+ Augmented Reality app will show global digital contributions in the Christchurch rebuild, augmenting the physical CityUps installations on the High Street of Christchurch, New Zealand.
