Cybrid Landscape
"Cybrids - a link on the continuum between concrete objects and abstract data. The line that separates data from objects represents a continuum rather than a division. Today there are situation where data and concrete objects work together to create new spatial entities, herein called 'cybrids'. A cybrid is a hybrid of physical and electronic spaces." (Peter Anders 2001)

The concept for Cybrid Landscape is to explore how the physical properties of a space can be merged into a virtual space, or a cybrid in this case. A 3D virtual landscape represents the atria of a physical building. As people walk around the physical space, they wear away the landscape in virtual space, showing a history of movement throughout the day. This can be used to study movement in a building, but also be presented to the visitors to make them aware of the intelligent building and see if they would alter their path once they knew the effect they were having on the virtual landscape.
