Commissioned by the 100 year-old Ajax Amsterdam football club, Sid Lee Architecture in collaboration with gsmprjct° created a truly immersive fan experience for the legendary team.
Walking into the museum you go through the hall of “Giants” visualizing the important club members and glorious moments. Through the hall you travel into The Ajax Academy filled with multimedia rooms and interactive training areas. Once you have practiced your technique and speed hear an inspiring speech from the club’s coach and head into the stadium to hear the roar of the crowd.
Apparently I’m a fan of Sid Lee’s work since this is the third time I have posted one of their projects. They certainly deserve the recognition. Also see Bota Bota and Redbull Amsterdam HQ.

Several students in the Advanced Interface Design class at Hyper Island created KarmaTech as an embeddable RFID concept for WESC shoes. Once you register your shoes with WESC they imagine using the technology to give you access to exclusive events, automatic location based check-ins, and fun social media interactions. Where a platform like Nike+ is focused on performance and competition KarmaTech is simply social and fun.
If you’re interested in design, digital media or advertising and considering schools, definitely take a look at the Hyper Island program.
See a list of all the people involved in this concept.

Fantastic example of how motion, interaction, and editorial content can come together to create digital content. Sure this might take far more time than a standard content layout, but if a publisher can create one to two of these featured mixed in with well designed content this will take off.
Together with co-directors Cory Strassburger and Ming Hsiung, we produced a motion magazine cover and feature spread for Viv Mag - an all digital magazine, which would allow us to create content that will be able to live on the iPad and other tablet devices where digital magazines can live.
