Hague architecture at your fingertips with UAR

UAR, the free architecture for the smartphone, has expanded to include The Hague with an English-language version. Thanks to UAR, smartphone users now have their own personal architecture guide, with information on hundreds of buildings, in the palm of their hand.

After Rotterdam and Amsterdam, The Hague is the latest city to have its architecture ‘captured’ by the UAR (Urban Augmented Reality) application for smartphones which presents the buildings in 3D. With UAR, you can see the buildings that once occupied a site, projects that will be built there in the future, or which might have stood there.

Residents and visitors to The Hague will be able to see the winning design for the International Dance and Music Centre (IDMC) on their smartphone for the first time, and they can marvel at an alternative design for the Bijenkorf department store, City Hall and the Peace Palace.

You can download UAR for free at www.nai.nl/uar.

First English-language edition

In partnership with Monumentenzorg Den Haag (Bureau for Monuments and Historical Sites) and Stroom Den Haag, the centre for art and architecture in The Hague, the Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAI) launches the free UAR 3D architecture app, which now includes The Hague and the first English-language edition. With this technology at their fingertips, visitors can explore the rich architecture of the Netherlands in the most relevant place of all – the city itself.

The UAR app presently covers Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Den Bosch and The Hague. The city of Utrecht will also soon be available on UAR.

Cooperation

Monumentenzorg Den Haag, Stroom Den Haag, the Historical Museum of The Hague and the Haags Uitburo / Den Haag Marketing all contributed to the content for The Hague edition of UAR.
