Traditional scale models of cities are used to display existing, or proposed urban settings. Unfortunately, these models are static, fixed, and hard to modify. Urban planners use these models in a later stage of the planning process. They negotiate the trade offs of their proposals through sketching, and before physical models can be built. This paper describes a novel framework that employs LEGOs (modular bricks) and a system of high definition projections, to substitute the traditional static models of cities with new interactive, dynamic ones. The proposed framework combines physical and digital mediums: it projects precise sets of data on tangible, physical constructs made out of LEGOs. In this paper we describe the main components, outline the basic interaction features, and discuss a case study employing this framework in a collaborative research context.
