Update

Scottsdale Public Art is partnering with in the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at Arizona State University, in creating a web-based, interactive extension of our 2004 masterplan, using Google Earth as the platform.

This system will be used by public art staff as a key visioning tool that creates a public art layer with other overlays for the purpose of planning, integrating, and scoping future art, such as the location and character of signature works. Through this tool we will also introduce the general public to the cultural geography of the city through its public art.

Viewers will be able to “fly” through the city and access information and images about our art collection. They will be able to look at the city using .KML files “tuned” to show the many layers of the city– such as roads, paths, parks, building relationships and massing, plus districts, etc. And what they’ll find is Scottsdale as a city-slash-gallery.

If we were to zoom in on our new Canal district, we can begin to understand the spatial relationships between a collection of art and experiences, cultural amenities, and traditionally mapped city infrastructure in a 3-D environment.
