This research and educational project aimed to create an interactive website featuring virtual 3-D walkthroughs of three buildings from the ancient city of Marion in Polis Chrysochous, Cyprus. The earliest structure dates from the Cypro-Geometric period (10th–9th century BCE) and the latest was destroyed in 312 BCE in the early Hellenistic period. The project builds on models presented at EuroM...

They are many researches on computer graphics to generate a virtual city. The principal method is to start with an urban pattern and then to generate buildings, but how to create a city with buildings that was already designed? We propose a different approach with a system based on creating an urban pattern after loading buildings, which are loaded randomly, then follow a vector until its end. ...

The approach presented in this paper uses a multi-agent system to model the selforganising properties of urban systems from a morphological point of view and aims at providing a tool to study urban growth. The proposed multi-agent system is a hierarchy of topographic agents (e.g. buildings, roads, rivers or urban blocks) that are built, modified, merged, split, restructured and destroyed over t...

The September 21, 1999, Mw 7.6 Chichi earthquake destroyed several thousand buildings and caused more than 2000 fatalities in central Taiwan. The earthquake occurred along the Chelungpu fault, a thrust fault on the western flank of the Taiwan fold-andthrust belt. The surface rupture was more than 90 km long, and vertical displacements ranged from 3 to 8 m. Although pre-existing scarps were iden...

Background Buildings in communities near wildlands, the wildland–urban interface (WUI), can experience wildfire damage. Aims To quantitatively assess relationship between building features and damage, a resistance index is developed validated with 2013–2017 CAL FIRE (DINS) database from California, USA, 2017 Pedrógão Grande Fire Complex post-fire investigation Portugal. Methods Three statistica...
