BEACON

This project is about visualizing crowd  ow in public areas. Giving the people using the area back their own behavior in a visual way.

People are just like ants in a way. The growth of our cities is also a process beyond control of an individual that folds out over a longer period of time. We do it together.

You could say that a city is one big organism that behaves and grows according to all the combined little contributions

from the individual. It is an autonomous organism. Just like a  flock of birds or a crowd of people. Lots of people walking through a transportation hub and almost no collisions.

The final concept is about expressing your identity as a person or as a group based on journey information. For example people that have just looked at their smartphone to plan their journey, walk to the platform from which their train will depart. the smartphones of these people know where they are going and the preferred time. Assign these people with the colour blue and they will instantly know where to go,

 

because there are more people around them with the same colour. People might behave differently when they know from each other where they are going. Not only in the way they move though crowds, but also

in the way they interact with their environment. Perhaps people would go and sit next to each other if they have the same destination. Talk about their journey, destination or something else they have in common.
