Funded Activity Summary

Shaping social and cultural spaces: the application of computer visualisation and machine learning techniques to the design of architectural and urban spaces. The proposed research project provides a previously unavailable level of understanding of the experiential and symbolic characteristics of complex urban and architectural spaces. In a country that is experiencing increasing urban density there is an urgent need for the development of new tools, theories and design approaches that can produce spaces which are socially and culturally responsive. The research project produces a leading-edge computational tool for analysing space, along with a conceptual advance in design theory. Both the tool and the theoretical advance will assist design practitioners, scholars, town planners and policy writers to shape rich, responsive and inclusive urban environments.
