There’s an app for that!

Posted on June 17, 2012 by Natalia

Introducing, an app for avant-garde architecture… from RKM Save Urban Heritage site:

WHAT IS THE RKM | APPLICATION?

Convinced of the importance of applying new technologies to the valorisation and promotion of cultural heritage and tourism, the RKM | Application is a smart, user friendly and intuitive graph interface offering an interactive system for visiting Avant-garde and Constructivist heritage. Users can follow pre-set itineraries or build their own tours and each stop is associated with an audio-visual sequence providing in-depth information. Descriptions are available in country-specific audio and text (English, Russian and Ukrainian), accompanying historical images, original drafts and plans, details and interiors. A portrait of the architect and other related historical figures and topics are integrated with contextual information about the areas of the city being crossed.
