Quarticle has partnered with Haskoning to advance cloud-native GeoIntelligence across geospatial and engineering workflows.
Together, we aim to enhance the integration, analysis, and operational use of geospatial data across diverse applications.
We look forward to what’s ahead!
Day 49. Polygon city tiles 🏙️
This project visualizes the Timișoara historical center as a dense field of building polygons, using D3.js with Nextzen context tiles and detailed footprints from OSM Buildings.
Instead of simplifying the scene, it keeps full building coverage visible. As tiles stream in, streets/water/terrain establish context first, then buildings appear layer by layer.

Day 47. Atmosphere ✈️
An evolution of Day 43: same airport dataset, new atmospheric context.
Cloud layers, rim glow, and stronger light contrast shift perception, making dense regions stand out while sparse areas recede.
Built with Three.js + WebGL and subtle GLSL shaders.
Not a new dataset, just a new way of seeing it.

The INSPIRE Directive for geodata interoperability and sharing is set to be simplified. And that might actually be a good thing! Javier de la Torre takes a good look at INSPIRE’s history, shortcomings, and the argument for embracing #analytics-native paradigms for the future of geospatial.
