The tower comes to life with new images from several 3D mapping artists.
An Administration at 54
Artists:
Elektrick.me (България)
A humorous 3D projection mapping on the façade of Gabrovo Municipality in Gabrovo, playfully revealing what might be happening behind the windows of the local administration. In this visual story, the building itself seems to come alive, sharing witty reflections about the everyday life inside – offices, meetings, ambitious plans, small bureaucratic miracles, and the famous “thin calculations” of Gabrovo humor.
With this project, Elektrick.Me recreates one of its favorite humorous mapping pieces, celebrating the distinctive self-irony and playful sense of humor that define the spirit of the city.
“An Administration at 54” reminds us that even official buildings can laugh at themselves – especially in a city famous for its humour.
URBS³
Artists:
Ruestungsschmie (Германия)
ruestungsschmie.de has a background in architecture where every facade is a puzzle to solve. The tower’s modular bays and stacked window groups take center stage. Light slides surfaces, light lets openings breathe and dilate, light reveals the building’s structural heartbeat.
ruestungsschmie.de´s polyrhythmic soundscape breaks the facade’s strict metric into playful counterpoints – overlapping pulses that turn conceptual repetition into something alive, organic, unexpected. The tower doesn’t just stand there; it breathes, shifts, and speaks through this tectonic choreography, remaining an undisputed star of its own architectural poem – Gabrovo’s City Hall tower transforms into an audiovisual sculpture.
Anima
Artists:
Ari Dyker (Полша)
A 3D projection mapping on the façade of Gabrovo Municipality in Gabrovo by Polish artist Ari Dicker. Inspired by classical art, the artist creates a visual world inhabited by fantastical characters and curious creatures that feel as if they have stepped out of a fairy tale.
In “Anima,” the architecture comes to life through rich forms, painterly textures, and surreal imagery. The façade becomes a stage for imagination, where mythical figures, symbols, and whimsical beings appear and disappear, creating the feeling of a living painting.
