City generator: GIS driven genetic evolution in urban simulation

Published:03 August 2009Publication History

ABSTRACT

This poster presents a range of urban simulation techniques and multidisciplinary research across Architecture design, urban design, interactive design and game design, as well as visual effects. Through a series of design experiments using City Generator, the 3D urban simulation tool, I explored an integrated set of design methods, such as genetic computation, and real time simulation with game engine. The complexity of 3D urban form is procedurally controlled by 2D GIS (Geography Information System) data input and digital elevation model (DEM), which allows designers to efficiently shape urban growth in a preferred direction.
