An Urbanistic Design Tool (2002)
article⁄An Urbanistic Design Tool (2002)
abstract⁄The existing CAD and CAAD programs and design applications hardly support the urbanistic designactivities. Although those applications are useful means to be utilized generally in design tasks, they arenot suitable tools as urbanism community needs. Most existing CAD programs are based on thearchitectural design process and therefore not suitable for urbanistic design. The conceptual differencebetween architecture and urbanism necessitates developing new CAD software based on the urbanisticdesign process. We believe that our developed UrbanCAD system assists designers with urbanisticdesign activities and overcomes the limitations of the already existing CAD applications.
