Engaging Intuitive Visual Thinking in Urban Design Modelling: A Real-Time Hypothesis (1988)
article⁄Engaging Intuitive Visual Thinking in Urban Design Modelling: A Real-Time Hypothesis (1988)
abstract⁄This paper will present prototypical software being used in the teaching of urban design to students and for use by professionals in the early stages of a project. The system is intended to support a heuristic approach to design. That is, it supports a process of refining ideas and understandings through a process of trial and error. The support or aid to design comes in the form of a didactic realtime programme. Its power lies in its ability to provide instantaneous response to operations on the data that can allow one to develop threedimensional spatial ideas in an intuitively driven manner. This condition appears to occur for both novice and expert computer operators.The presentation will present our experience todate in using conventional computer graphic tools to represent design ideas and contrast it with a video demonstration of our prototypical dynamic urban design modelling software for the Silicon Graphics IRIS computers.
