    Cities thrive on the richness of their public spaces: it is where a sense of community, connection and identity are formed in the urban landscape. Our environments are composed of rich, analog and natural information—sights, smells, sounds feelings—yet, information within the physical environment disrupt with a staccato rhythm. We are interrupted from our thoughts by discrete pieces of advertising, signage and our own privately held technological devices. How can we develop a shared space for the intangibles of knowledge and data, within our physical reality? Is it possible to meld the sense of community that has been developed on the Internet into camaraderie on the ground? Can a wall be a public space, a portal, a mirror? This project proposes the linkage of the permanence of physical built form with the temporal nature of constantly adapting information delivery, creating information architecture. This information architecture is the catalyst in the creation of a physical knowledge space in the public realm. Specifically, the underlying project is a lamination of high and low resolution, analog and digital. The proposal is for a building unit composed glass-fibre concrete with embedded dot-matrix LEDs. Interaction is based on the concept of me & your shadow, where interactions occur within the digital shadow of the user. Control of information displayed is negotiated between authority and the user. It can be something as simple as accessing information, displaying your own individuality or leaving an imprint for others.
