PATTERN LANGUAGE AND TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT

We will learn differences between single- and multi-objective optimization, how to define a boolean and a penalty function. By the means of single- and multi-objective optimization we will:

• optimize markets distribution and accessibility to them in Mexico City
• enhance the public transport system by implementing a new metro line

OPTIMIZING ACCESSIBILITY

On an example of Warsaw, the capital city of Poland, we will analyze and optimize:

• possible position(s) of a new pedestrian connection bridging two sides of the river
• enhance the local and global accessibility of the city network
• compare Brute Force and optimization strategy

OPTIMIZING URBAN PLANNING AND LANDSCAPE DESIGN

Throughout the webinar the following topics will be addressed:

• minimization of walk cost on a landscape
• multi-objective optimization for planning a complex of villas to – enhance the views, privacy and divide the land equally
• minimize the earthworks for a new investment
• distribution, accessibility and continuity of urban greenery system

MAPS AND DATA MANAGEMENT

There is a vast amount of data regarding the cities, there are different formats of data and there are organized often in a very unclear way. Where to find the data? How to handle them and clean? How to build a 3D model from Open Street Maps. This webinar aims to show how to retrieve data from existing databases and how manage them to inform the design process. We will see how to visualize data and export them to other formats.

ANALYZING AND ENHANCING URBAN ENVIRONMENT

The webinar introduces to concepts of urban performance – both qualitative and quantitative. Through a series of exercises we will analyze and evaluate performance of an urban structure. The workshop will explore ideas and concepts defined in Space Syntax and Environmental Performance of a city such us Outdoor Comfort or Sun Accessibility.
