Daylit density : a simulation-based framework towards performance-aware zoning and real estate development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Population growth and related space constraints have led to a planning paradigm that promotes living and working in high-density urban areas. Increasing urban density, however, leads to a conflict between space-use efficiency ... -
Towards interactive sustainable neighborhood design : combining a tangible user interface with real time building simulations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)An increasingly urbanizing human population presents new challenges for urban planners and designers. While the field of urban design tools is expanding, urban development scenarios require the input of multiple stakeholders, ... -
Urban weather generator user interface development : towards a usable tool for integrating urban heat island effect within urban design process
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Urban Weather Generator (UWG) is the urban design simulation tool that provides climate-specific advice for cityscape geometry and land use to assist the development of energy-efficient cities that are also thermally ...
