Get floored in Paris |

De pinxi is in the closing stages of an attraction, at the Monparnasse Tower in Paris, The Big Hole. The brief was to create an entertaining attraction, while also educating visitors about the city.
Screens are integrated into the floor, which start to vibrate, while surround sound, subwoofer and synchronised flashes simulate the floor collapsing. Once the floor (virtually) collapses, actors playing the people, who supposedly live below, start reacting. With each collapse there's a new scenario.
De pinxi's Philippe Chiwy says that building a show, which includes special effects and live actors, into the existing architecture, with very limited space, was a big challenge.

|
Long known for its fancy casinos, Macau realized within the past decade that it must
diversify its tourism scene to attract new crowds. With the ambition of becoming the
leisure hub of China’s 72-million strong Greater Bay Area, the city began adding shows,
attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
