For a bit of mid-week inspiration, here's another of our favorite architectural mapping projects, bringing historic architecture to life digitally with sound, projection, movement and light.

From creator Diez, the video below is a preview entry for the 2010 French national cultural event 'Imaginez Maintenant'; the location is the Metz railway station, built in 1908 and a registered historic monument in France since 1975. If you're having trouble with the display, click here to view the film on the web.

Cette preview a été crée pour répondre à un appel à projet de mise en video de la gare de Metz, dans le cadre du projet national "Imaginez Maintenant". Ce dernier a été lauréat, mais a malheureusement du être abandonné suite a une restriction budgétaire. Je vous la propose tout de même ici ! This preview has been created to respond to a call for project video on the Metz station, under the national project "Imaginez Maintenant". The latter was the winner, but unfortunately to be abandoned following a budgetary restriction. I propose you still here!

It's pretty fascinating to see today's digital technology applied to such historic sites, creating a new way of visualizing and re-imagining places, while transforming a public space into a unique, beautiful and innovative multimedia art installation.

View more projects online, and hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
