Abstract
In this paper we present an application of airborne light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data analysis for computation of buildings visibility and sunshine in the context of urban morphogenesis geosimulation. The interdisciplinary project between architects and geomaticians aims to provide a simulation model based upon dynamic computation of building agents’ satisfaction degree, incorporating visibility and sunshine analysis results derived from raw LIDAR data. For the buildings in study, the visibility and sunshine analysis are undertaken at different heights along its façades, in order to obtain a classification as input for the multi-agent vector urban modelling system.
