Strata
Strata is the spatial publishing infrastructure for the world you move through. Every city, every campus, every landscape is a palimpsest — layers of history, culture, intelligence, and meaning that most tools flatten or ignore. Strata makes them navigable. Layer analysis, historical maps, live environmental data, and community knowledge onto any location. Author a spatial narrative on a desktop; walk through it on foot. For field researchers and field trips. For institutions that want a campus orientation that no admissions brochure could be. For architects, urban researchers, historians, and journalists working at the scale of the city.

Capabilities
Spatial Narrative Studio
Desktop authoring environment for layered spatial narratives. Place content, analysis, imagery, and live data feeds onto geolocated maps. Publish to the community or keep private to a cohort.
History Slider
Temporal archaeology of any location. Move through time and see how a place has accumulated — the layers of knowledge, power, and culture deposited below its current surface.
Field Navigation
The authored narrative made walkable. GPS-located content appears as you move through the space on foot — a living layer over the physical world, accessible on any mobile device.
Live Intelligence
Weather, transport, smart city sensors, and environmental data woven into the narrative in real time. The city as it is right now, not as it was when the content was authored.
Tabletop Mode
Project Strata narratives onto printed city models and physical maps. The city brought into the room at any scale — a natural complement to Experience in any immersive environment.
Campus Publishing
Spatial publishing infrastructure for any institution. Field trips, campus tours, spatial research, and public narratives — authored once, shared with any audience, built into the Habitus community.
Markets
Higher education — field research and teaching
Urban geography, architectural history, environmental science, film studies, anthropology, social history. Any discipline that works with place. Strata makes a city readable as a layered text — historicised, annotated, and live. A field trip becomes a permanent spatial archive. Research becomes something you can walk through.
Heritage and cultural institutions
What a place has been is as important as what it is now. Strata provides the layer architecture for historical sites, city museums, and cultural institutions that want to put the past back where it happened — at the coordinates where it occurred, navigable on foot, accessible to any visitor with a phone.
Urban planning and architecture
Site analysis, masterplan communication, community engagement, environmental impact. Strata connects the drawing to the territory — the plan to the place where it will be built. Spatial intelligence authored by the people who understand it, navigated by the people who need to understand it.
Environmental research and journalism
Track change at any location over time. Biodiversity, land use, climate, pollution, development — the accumulation of evidence at a specific place. And for journalists: report a story at the place where it happened. The location as the primary medium.
