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

The first time I saw it was a late night drive back from Las Vegas with my husband. He saw it, too. But neither of us said a word for some time because we didn't know if we were legitimately seeing things. A few miles down the road I had the guts to mention it, and he saw it, too.
Friends and other people we've met saw the same loan building all lit up. It's apparently called the Psychedelic House and is lit up on some nights but not others. I highly doubt that anybody lives there, but it is kind of nifty to see lit up while you're driving a two lane road through the middle of the desert.

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. :-)

... I know, my next suggestion is very over the top, far-fetched, and perhaps even nerdish or geeky- ...But there is this possibility that in fact can by accomplished at least 2 ways - I nearly dare not say this here:
