NuFormer is a company in the Netherlands that creates amazing, 3D projection displays on buildings. Basically they manage to sync up the projected image with the building just so, and then they can make it look the building is collapsing, like water is flooding down the roof, like ghostly lights are dancing in the windows or twirling around the columns.
I've honestly never seen anything like it, and I hope I can see it in person sometime. (The goofy pop music in the clip does detract from the cool factor a bit, though.)- via

But it does look as if it is only a digital rendering and not actual projection.
Nevertheless it looks great- Making a building collapse like that with the appropriate sound-effects should make a nice April-Fools-Day joke. :-)
