The Planimator

Interactive animated 3D urban visualization of development from Bengler Visualization:

How could one show the entire history of cases while preserving the spatial and the temporal? This presentation renders the individual cases three dimensionally as spheres on the plane of the city map and animates them in time. Spheres are sized according to the amount of correspondance the case has and colored by case type. The design highlights the continuous transformation of the city, areas of intense development and the sheer workload of the planning authority.
