MIC_My Ideal City D9.2: Conference Report

The project “MIC-My Ideal City” was born in February 2008, directly from the experiences carried on by Museo Tridentino di Scienze Naturali with real time 3D technologies applied to museum needs. The idea was to assess if a participatory design could be merged with the liquid nature of the digital worlds, in order to visualize instances of future or ideal urban spaces. Since the start of the project, in June 2009, it was clear that there were at least three major challenges that the newborn MIC would have proposed to our freshly formed Consortium, made out by a University – University IUAV of Venice – and four science museums: Bloomfield Science Museum in Jerusalem, Ciência Viva in Lisbon, Experimentarium in Copenhagen, and Museo Tridentino di Scienze Naturali in Trento, coordinator of the whole project.
