Reconstructing urban contexts online for interactive urban designs
نویسنده
چکیده
The Sheffield Urban Contextual Databank (SUCoD) system was developed as a Web-based urban information system to host the urban data gathered by the Sheffield Urban Study programme. Our development of the SUCoD system provides user-centred dynamic retrieval and visualisation facilities for accessing multidimensional city datasets. The paper reports on a study of applying the SUCoD resources in an educational setting to explore its usability in two accounts: presenting urban site investigations as online urban narratives and the development of 3D schematic urban proposals. The current experiment suggests that SUCoD could be further developed into an online Urban Design Collaboratory. c 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
