Amsterdam is colloquially known as Venice of the north, because of its canals that crisscross the city, its impressive architecture and more than 1500 bridges. Amsterdam being a touristic city, being alive on tourists, therefore, aim of our project is to keep tourism industry alive and develop it more and attract more tourists to the city which directly has an effect on the city’s economy.
Amsterdam has had many brand ‘carriers’ over the years. To name a few, ‘Amsterdam has it’, ‘Amsterdam Capital of Inspiration’, ‘Small City, Big Business’, ‘Cool Capital’ and many more others have been in use till 2004. None of these carriers could grasp the before-mentioned key values of Amsterdam.
For rebranding the city and keeping tourism industry alive in Amsterdam we have come up with the idea of “TIIS”(Tourism Interactive Intelligence System). The idea of “TIIS” works as a system in the whole city and make the tourists be connected to the city. It is to make the tourists interact and communicate with the city directly and as well to keep the tourists connected and can interact with each other. And the system itself gives an identity to the city. less

In the active state the pods assemble into spontaneous bridges and recreational spaces to divert the crowd massing in key points of the city.
