STUDY OF URBAN STREET NETWORK WITH BUILDING NODES

A state of the art of urban reconstruction: street, street network, vegetation, urban feature

World population is raising, especially the part of people living in cities. With increased population and complex roles regarding their inhabitants and their surroundings, cities concentrate difficulties for design, planning and analysis. These tasks require a way to reconstruct/model a city. Traditionally, much attention has been given to buildings reconstruction, yet an essential part of cit...

Components for parametric urban design in Grasshopper from street network to building geometry

The main contribution of our work is in combining the methods for parametric urban design of highly specialized software such as CityEngine and general-purpose parametric modeling platform such as Grasshopper. Our work facilitates and prompts the use of parametric tools by architects and planners for urban design. In this paper we present a custom grasshopper component for street network genera...

Improving the Quality of Urban Spaces through Image Processing, Case Study: 17th-Shahrivar Street of Tehran

Modeling urban street patterns.

Urban street patterns form planar networks whose empirical properties cannot be accounted for by simple models such as regular grids or Voronoi tesselations. Striking statistical regularities across different cities have been recently empirically found, suggesting that a general and detail-independent mechanism may be in action. We propose a simple model based on a local optimization process co...

Organizing the Urban Landscape with Emphasis on Legibility, Using Visual Preference Technique (V.P.T) (Case Study: Khayyam Street of Qazvin)

Urban landscapes form the main parts of the city. One of these spaces is urban streets, in whichsocial interactions and urban vitality reach its maximum quality and quantity. One of the principles and properties ofurban landscape design is its intelligibility. A viewer who takes a look at an intelligible city and knows it can attract newemotional manifestations of city without damaging its orig...
