»The Aug­men­ted City Pro­ject initi­ally star­ted as a stu­dent pro­ject at the Uni­ver­sity of the Arts Bre­men, Ger­many in the inter­na­tio­nal inter-university gra­duate pro­gram of digi­tal media. The pro­ject mer­ges com­pe­ten­cies in archi­tec­ture, design and com­pu­ter sci­ence and reflects upon the impact of digi­tal media on socio­eco­no­mic spaces in urban environ­ments.   With an ubi­qui­tous over­lay of digi­tal data spaces onto the tra­di­tio­nal phy­si­cal realm, we can expect con­side­ra­ble influ­en­ces in the per­cep­tion of our tra­di­tio­nal environ­ments. The pro­ject group intends to make aware of these onco­m­ing influ­en­ces, crea­ting sce­na­rios which demons­trate pos­si­ble con­se­quen­ces and showing appro­priate design stra­te­gies.   This design guide is edi­ted to assist pro­ject mem­bers to pre­sent pro­ject rela­ted work in a con­sis­tent look. It is tar­ge­ted at desi­gners who are fami­liar with basic gra­phi­cal illus­tra­tion and lay­out pro­grams. The groups’ work is an expe­ri­men­tal, tech­ni­cal and fun­da­men­tal approach. Thus the pro­ject design uses a sim­ple lan­guage. It bases on several design modu­les which can be com­bi­ned in a fle­xi­ble yet con­sis­tent man­ner. As influ­en­ces of digi­tal spaces may mani­fest them­sel­ves dif­fer­ently, the pro­ject design is con­cei­ved in a way that allows for a fle­xi­ble design out­come. A diverse design lan­guage is encou­ra­ged since the aug­men­ted city design is also a way to express the pro­gress of the pro­ject work its­elf.«   The pre­sent work Cor­po­rate Design Manual »The Aug­men­ted City Pro­ject« is a result of the course Visua­liza­tion and Pre­sen­ta­tion in the Inter­na­tio­nal unter-university gra­duate pro­gram Digi­tal Media at the Uni­ver­sity of the Arts Bre­men, Ger­many.   Manual…
