Abstract
“Media architecture” is a term for installations in which displays are integrated into architectural structures. In this chapter, we address five unique qualities of media architecture displays: scale, shape, pixel configuration, pixel shape, and light quality. We exemplify this through two media architecture displays, Aarhus by Light and The Danish Pavilion at Expo 2010, followed by a discussion of two key topics for such displays, namely, their integration into the built environment and the potential for interacting with them.
