Description:
Files were migrated by a CCA collaborator in 2015 and in 2017 as part of the preparation for the Archaelogy of the Digital Complexity and Convention exhibit and ePublications series. While files “diagram-1” and “pig” were migrated to version 8 of the software, files “COMPLETE BUILDING” and “scissors” were migrated to both versions 6 and 7 of form*z. Original files may be found within AP177.S1.008, at these file paths: Kansai Diagrams/diagram-1 Kansai 3-D Models/building/COMPLETE BUILDING Kansai 3-D Models/building/pig.1 Kansai 3-D Models/building/scissors Most common file formats: form*Z Project File

Original directory name: "26_Projektmappe". File shows the BMW Welt project development through two documents likely destined to be printed and bound. The documentation of the project is made using mostly images: plans, technical drawings, renderings, and photographs. File contains the InDesign original files for these documents, with supporting linked images and font files. It also contains PDF versions of the documents, although it is not possible to confirm that the PDF files are exact copies of the InDesign files. There is a significant amount of duplicates in subdirectories which were not deleted in order to avoid breaking dependencies between files.

Description:
This directory contains chiefly Virtools files and CAD files, including 3DS and Maya. The Virtools files in this directory include player files and supporting files for two objects. The first is titled "keep at contant distance thing," which allows the user to interact with two objects that are constantly kept at a constant distance from one another. The other player file has several versions, all titled "Virtools," which allow the user to experiment with the volume of a Muscle-like structure by moving different vertices within the structure. The Maya files contain various 3D wireframe models, and the 3DS files largely come back as "not found." Original directory name: "75 virtools muscle simulation". Most common file formats: Unidentified, Maya Binary File Format, Plain Text File, 3D Studio, Hypertext Markup Language.

Description:
This directory contains files documenting ONL's early experimentation with Virtools. It includes three interactive, game-like composition and player files. The first, titled Trans-ports, allows the user to manipulate a structure's shape and lighting. The skin of the structure can also be manipulated into streaming news headlines. The second, titled Variomatic, allows the user to customize a structure by manipulating its size, shape, color, and construction materials. The third, titled Web of North Holland, allows the user to investigate the geometries of a structure, and later allows the user to move an avatar resembling Kas Oosterhuis around inside the structure. There are also a small number of additional composition files which include drafts of a 3D structure, as well as stock Virtools composition files. Original directory name: "80 nemo to virtools conversion". Most common file formats: Waveform Audio (PCMWAVEFORMAT), JPEG File Interchange Format, Waveform Audio (WAVEFORMATEX), Unidentified, Hypertext Markup Language.

Original directory name: "23_Bemusterung". File contains documentation, lists, plans and photographs that appear to have been gathered to inform design choices for the BMW Welt building. It includes maps, floors, suspended ceilings, restaurants, walls, perforated sheets, door handles, exposed concrete surfaces, show halls, etc. Photographs show lighting devices, floorings, building claddings, among other elements. Plans present either very specific areas of the BMW Welt building, with technical details, or offer a complete view of a floor or an area of the building, which are also very detailed. The few textual records in the file reflect planning for material selection, for example, presentations on potential lighting devices.
