A Restorative Last Mile Towards The Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam: Improving the quality of last mile reachability and arrival, by assessing societies' opinions on urban stress and restoratives, and digitally researching scenarios by the use of personas

The Erasmus Medical Center (EMC) campus is working on an intensification of functions for the new Masterplan of 2050. Since densification is only possible vertically due to the enclosed location, there is an increase of 5000 employees and only 650 physical parking spaces, leading to lessened accessibility by car. Simultaneously, vehicles are...

Automatic reconstruction of 3D city models from historical maps

Historical 3D city models have been increasingly used for the preservation and communication of the cultural heritage to a wider and more diversified public. In the recent years, they have also been of a growing interest in other domains such as in urbanism or in economy. However, their potential for supporting new use cases has been restricted...

Permeable Playground: Bauhaus fabrication Hub

My graduation project (Permeable Playground) is to design a space for art that integrates Bauhaus Dessau and the new Bauhaus Museum in Dessau Station, Germany. The project begins with an analysis of the mechanisms that capture the relationship between art and the human being. And establishes assumptions about the place for 'creativity' to the...

Procedural Generation of Traffic Signs

Designing realistic 3D content in a virtual urban environment is a hot topic and a challenge, specifically when including semantics to improve the realism of vegetation, buildings and roads. Road networks typically lack plausible signaling objects, unless they were inserted manually which is inefficient and time-consuming. This thesis presents a...

Generation of multi-LOD 3D city models in CityGML with the procedural modelling engine Random3Dcity

The production and dissemination of semantic 3D city models is rapidly increasing benefiting a growing number of use cases. However, their availability in multiple LODs and in the CityGML format is still problematic in practice. This hinders applications and experiments where multi-LOD datasets are required as input, for instance, to determine...

Exploring CityEngine as a Visualisation Tool for 3D Cadastre

3D visualisation is a graphical way to identify and spatially communicate the complexity of a large number of real life situations of overlapping and encroachments in 2D or 3D land and property interests (e.g., buildings with complex architecture, infrastructures above or below Earth surface, natural resources and corresponding rights)....

Inductive Aerodynamics

A novel approach is presented to predict wind pressure on tall buildings for early-stage generative design exploration and optimisation. The method provides instantaneous surface pressure data, reducing performance feedback time whilst maintaining accuracy. This is achieved through the use of a machine learning algorithm trained on procedurally...
