Text A 3-dimensional model of the Market Hall ("Markthal") in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, displayed on top of its construction site, through the Layar Reality browser. Rotterdam is the Dutch capital of modern architecture. The latest eyecatching project by Provast is the construction of the Market hall, a U-shaped building designed by renowned architects MVRDV. Completion is planned for 2014, but visitors and inhabitants can already see how the Market Hall looks like, simply by pointing their phone at its construction site. The 3D model enables the visitor to walk around the building and look inside - as if it was already there.
