Bosch Data Blueprint smart city sculpture
A city is more than concrete and glass

Bosch needed an interesting way to convey the promise and potential inherent in “Smart Cities” – something that would catch the eye of convention attendees and illustrate how data informs our everyday lives.

They needed a self‑directed experience that captures the imagination whilst being informative and memorable. Bosch was seeking a new way of explaining the IoT in a way that feels timely, visceral, and unexpected.

We all know that there is information all around us – some of it we can see and use and some of it is invisible. Cities are made of more than brick and mortar, or asphalt and steel. In the 21st century, cities are made of data.

Data can paint a picture, and a person, their devices, and their connections to a municipality can be the brush. We call the solution a Data Blueprint.
