Architects Turn a Public Square Into a Giant TV Room (Almost)

Langarita--Navarro Arquitectos recently created a stunning LED facade for the Medialab-Prado, in central Madrid.

Comissioned by the Madrid Town Council, the display was rigged to show specially commissioned "psychaedlic" animations--rather than commercials of the sort you'd see in Times Square.

What's remarkable about it is the size--some 1,550 square feet--and the resolution. With 35,000 LED nodes, it's able to show moving images in medium resolution--which would be better than a Youtube video, but still shy of your TV:

I can't imagine a better place to watch videos of Maru. Shame it didn't come with an xBox hookup!
