Layar 3D model NAi Market Hall Rotterdam

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.

Layer developed by the Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAi) and in cooperation with IN10

You can walk around it - as if it was already there. You could even walk underneath it if you were allowed to walk on the construction site

Are you able to move around and look at it in real time?
