Noah is a researcher at the Department of Urban Studies at MIT.

Space Syntax takes an evidence-based approach to the planning and design of buildings and cities, using advanced computer modelling technologies. Noah will talk about real time data collection methods, parametric modelling at the urban scale, and future possibilities of ‘remote control urbanism’

Technology, people, place and space: ideas for urban modelling, mapping and liveability Free to all

RUDI's knowledge-sharing event debated the subject of technology, people, space and place. There was plenty of time for sharing and collecting information, and the lively discussion is available to view below, as are the presentations.

The issues discussed included:

  • Real time data collection methods and parametric modelling at the urban scale
  • The future possibilities of 'remote control urbanism'
  • The emotional mapping of space
  • The latest design and promotional uses for 3D city models and 3D software
  • Using public data to map how people to live and work
  • Web mash-ups using Google Earth and Maps

Google steps up programme to create 3D cities across the globe RUDI subscribers only

March 5, 2008 - Google has announced a programme, Google Cities in 3D, to help cities that would like to organize a project to put them into Google Earth in 3D, says Google Earth blogger FrankTaylor. There have already been many cities (especially in Germany) who have taken it upon themselves to develop 3D models of their cities and coordinate with Google to put them models into Google Earth. more >
