Focusing on the Present and Zooming In on the Past
A reconnaissance camera has been positioned on the neighbourhood’s
highest building.
This can be operated by means of a website.
You can turn the camera through 360 degrees, move it up and down, and
zoom in.
By using another button, you can also go back into both the recent and
the distant past.
Here, you will enter an archive of photos where, with exactly the same
interface, you can view details of the past. In chronological order, these
consist of the various phases of the new building, the demolition work,
the military history and perhaps some even older images.
