The DataWolk (or DataCloud) is an internet environment combining the characteristics of a knowledgemap, a fuzzy searchengine and a podium for dialogue. The basis for the DataWolk are separate dataobjects on a specific theme, which are brought in by the visitors or changed by them. The DataWolk is an instrument to get a hold on a complex and in many ways untracable structure of informations and their interconnections. The first time this browser has been used is on the occasion of an international manifestation on new urban strategies for the island Hoeksche Waard. On the basis of the characteristics of the dataobjects the informations in the DataWolk Hoeksche Waard can be organised and explored in an intuitive way.

The research-project SmartArchitecture looks for combinations of new, exciting architecture and 'green' solutions. With the launch of this website a beginning is made towards an online research on Smart projects, designers, ideas and techniques in architecture. A special part of the site is the smartgrid, which enables the visitors to see the links between the various items. In this grid the connections between projects, techniques and concepts are made.
Smart architecture offers an integral solution to a variety of design challenges: the environmental problem, the optimal use of space and other resources, a functional utilization of materials and technology, and aesthetics.Smart architecture is never just green - it is always something more.
