This "Intelligent Space" project showcased in the 2002 Swiss National Exposition appeals to me as it combines interactive technology with inhabitable (this is key, for me) architecture. Though the project is nearly 5 years old I feel that there is still a vast potential for development - the interactive floor tiles could become a new media for signage that directs the public in large scale events. Given the number of participants, the location and time of the points of interest, and/or the specific number of participants, the intelligent flooring system can efficiently directs the flow of people in order to maximize exhibit exposure and spectator participation.
