Dr Gary Priestnall has completed a large Projection Augmented Relief Model (PARM) of Nottingham city

Dr Gary Priestnall from the School of Geography has completed a large Projection Augmented Relief Model (PARM) of Nottingham city, part funded by the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities via Nottingham City Council (NCC), and the Regional Innovation Fund.

The display features a 3D printed model of Nottingham, printed in the School of Geography, augmented from above with projected maps, images and animations.

The display is situated on Castle Meadow campus in the ‘City as Lab (CaL)’ space. The first applications of the display will include public engagement with the planning process working with Nottingham City Council, and projects funded by CaL focusing on vulnerability to urban heat (led by Simon Gosling and Emily O’Donnell) and carbon storage (led by Sam Booth).
