View Beneath Delft 2024, Netherlands, Delft
A view beneath the city of Delft
A data landscape of the city below our feet.
As you descend the stairs into the central hall of the Delft train station, a panoramic screen shows a subterranean view of Delft. It portrays a subset of around 30.000 sample analyses from Terraindex’s enormous collection of soil data. The result is a view of Delft from below where each line represents a soil sample that matches the viewers perspective. Moving through the data landscape you encounter clusters of soil findings. Some are natural such as sand or shells, others are man made such as asphalt, plastic or brick. The visualisation cycles trough a series of routes that connect these clusters. By following these routes you are presented with an ever changing View Beneath Delft.
