Smart living - Urban planning
Rapid prototyping of cities/districts & infrastructure
Rapid prototyping of cities/districts & infrastructure
- Development of an adaptive master plan model that allowed rapid prototyping of urban design variants for a new urban district.
- An integrated digital urban master, which includes various simulations - for traffic, solar radiation, microclimate, energy demand, economic potential etc.
- The urban planning tool was developed for worldwide use.
- The developed tools are part of a collection of components for Grasshopper/Rhino3D.
Urban Infrastructure Development Simulator
Urban Infrastructure Development Simulator
- Qualitative growth simulation and trend analysis for urban areas.
- Tool-derived estimates of infrastructure development costs for different development scenarios.
- Qualitative support for urban land use-, master-, agglomeration- and transportation planning through simulation and comparison of different scenarios.
- Tool is usable worldwide with limited data, while achieving high-quality results.
Location assessment
Location assessment
- Location and data based risk and opportunity assessment
- Environmental impact assessment [flooding, storm, landslide, etc ... ]
- Use-Cases: data centers, infrastructure, hospitals, etc ...
Climate sensitive Urban planning
Climate sensitive Urban planning
- The district layout, resulting from a design competition, was elaborated further, based on the project's climate findings.
- A guideline on climate-sensitive planning was developed for the district's realisation process.
- A smart street network and southwest/southeast-facing building orientation has reduced full sun exposure time and extended shade periods.
- The allocation of open spaces within the overall block structure was adjusted to improve the district's air ventilation, resulting in major cooling effects.
City Intelligence Lab (CIL)
City Intelligence Lab (CIL)
- UIL is an interactive platform where you can present your cutting-edge urban technology and it's effects on the city to city governments and other stakeholders.
- Visualisation of complex data for crucial urban planning decisions for city government & planners
- New Planning Experience & Procedures allow rapid performance assessment of a project
