Abstract

Developing and employing technologies for the urban environment requires visualization techniques that can reflect and challenge how and what we design for this space. This one-day workshop will explore the practices and technologies of Imaging the City from the perspective of Human-Computer Interaction, bringing together designers, HCI experts, and urban planners to deeply address the roles for imaging technologies in civic space.

Spatial information and the legibility of urban form: Big data in urban morphology
Highlights
- New spatial information systems, visualization tools, and workflows offer new possibilities for urban morphology research.
Abstract
Urban planning and morphology have relied on analytical cartography and visual communication tools for centuries to illustrate spatial patterns, conceptualize proposed designs, compare alternatives, and engage the public. Classic urban ...

The Manifold Challenges for Modeling the Urban Heat Island

Urban heat islands (UHIs) can have negative effects on cities. Under tropical climate and for large and high-dense mega cities like Singapore the elevated temperature levels yield to higher energy consumption for cooling, reduced outdoor thermal comfort,...
