3D Urbanism: multidisciplinary Realtime quantitative simulation

3D Urbanism: multidisciplinary Realtime quantitative simulation from alvise on Vimeo.

Ultimately designers aim is to achieve an integrated environment where – during the design process, including the early stages – the designer can generate a three-dimensional geometrical design, set up inter-related analysis and optimisation routines and receive meaningful feedback in realtime.

Towards this ultimate goal Arup made a first feasible step. “3D Urbanism” is a research project aiming at bringing discreet quantitative analytical solutions (urban design, moving vehicles, moving people, acoustics, lighting and climate) into a unified Realtime interactive environment to demonstrate performance based design to designer, client and city planner.
