Point-Cloud-Paint: A Software Tool for Speculative Urban Design Using Three-Dimensional Digital Collage (2017)
article⁄Point-Cloud-Paint: A Software Tool for Speculative Urban Design Using Three-Dimensional Digital Collage (2017)
abstract⁄Beginning from a provocation in Auguste Blanqui’s Eternity by the Stars, this paper reports on a new methodology of digital collage for urban design. The research is situated relative to the current discourses surrounding both voxelization and pointcloud data structures in order to motivate the concept of a recombinant approach to design in existing cities. Building on these sources, and with reference to recent developments in mesh shape composition techniques, the paper presents the resulting software implementation ‘PointCloudPaint’ a tool that enables collagebased combinatorial experimentation with urban pointcloud data.
