It happens more and more often. Architecture, urban space becomes dynamic, looses the quality of being static. It becomes great, interactive screen like the Kunsthaus in Graz.
Or like in the design of Frank Gehry for Camerimage Center in Lodz, Poland, where a great wall - a screen is to present what happens inside.

Like in the project of metro station Wileńska in Warsaw - where a new quality is added to the underground space. The walls which are to be screens showing what is upstairs.

I like very much the idea of Mood Light. The project realised in Amsterdam for the underground passages within modernist neighbourhoods . The movement as an element inducing light pulsation, and the pulsation of space. It increases the quality of space and influences the feeling of safety.

We are not only the cause of light movement - we stop to feel opressed, helpless towards the wall of dark unpleasant concrete. Like in the children room, when mum turns light off. And a kid is left alone. Such interventions increase the quality of space and do not cost so much as the redevelopment of current constructions.
Interaction, movement as an element of urban design. There is a great difference between this appoach and the one presented by the current trend setters of automotive industry. I.e. like these presented on the Discovery Channel in the programme Future Cars.
Development of methods to utterly isolate humans from the outside space. To ensure a mini center of entertainment and communication within a car. So what do you prefer? There is a choice: THE CITY or a car?
