Bucharest opts for 3D video projection on the façade of Parliament to commemorate its 555 birthday

The facade of the Parliament of the capital of Romania was transformed last 20 September in a spectacular 3D virtual building to celebrate the 555 anniversary of the founding of Bucharest, with one of the largest projections carried out so far in Europe thanks to the Maxin10sity project and the work of 104 projectors, of 20.000 lumens each, de Panasonic.

'Imapp Bucharest 555' has been the name chosen for the celebration events of the 555 anniversary of the founding of the capital of Romania, the most surprising and spectacular of which took place last 20 September with the transformation of the Parliament façade into a 3D projection stage of images of the city's history, lighting and sound.

The Hungarian company Maxin10sity has been responsible for the creation of this impressive 3D videomapping, one of the largest multimedia shows executed so far with this technology in Europe, composed of five different shows in which a tour of the history of Budapest was made before, during and after the revolution, which culminated in the recognition of Romania as a full member of the European Union.

In this project they have collaborated, with Maxin10sity, multimedia artists from France, Poland, Czech Republic and, obviously, from Romania. To carry out this large projection on the façade of Parliament (Also known as 'People's House'), which is the second largest building in the world after the Pentagon, with almost 20.000 square meters of surface), A laser scan has been previously carried out to create a very precise 3D model of the structure and each architectural detail before carrying out the large-scale video mapping and the design of the creative content..

This complex dynamic 3D image has required the power of 104 projectors, of the firm's PT-DZ21K model Panasonic, each of which provided a luminosity of 20.000 ansi lumens, while the geometric mapping and edge fusion software from this same supplier allowed a single perfect image to be projected.

As Adrian Pochiscan explains, technical director of 360 Revolution, one of the companies in charge of the production of this show, “We chose the DZ21K projectors mainly because of their size, and their resistance allowed us to stack a large number of them. We liked its resolution, its remote control function, their stability and the very low consumption they offer. If we had chosen other projectors, “We would have needed a small hydroelectric plant to power them”.
