Project 2: SplitBook

Have you ever been to a social network? Have you ever seen something that you liked, approved or disagreed with on the internet? A city is, in many views, just like a person. It has a particular character, history, appearance, architecture, all the things that make it one of a kind. Social networks are one of the most effective ways to communicate, interact, socialize, learn and have fun online. What if we could make an entire city like a Facebook profile? If you could have a physical wall, just like the digital equivalent on Facebook, where you could write and comment on anything that is going on around you? Splitbook is a hybrid platform that explores the intersection between a city’s identity and the everyday life of its citizens.
