Description

This course will introduce students to advanced digital urban modelling techniques, with the outcomes of students producing a digital model of a real-world site and further exploring semantic information modelling, 3D city representation and analysis aspects of urban models. The course content will comprise: an introduction to a range of urban data types, e.g. GIS data, cadastre data, ABS data, building information, urban flows data, etc; advanced urban modelling methods used to represent all relevant parts of cities (e.g. semantics, geometry, topology, appearance, etc); CityGML that provides an open standard for information sharing and semantic information modelling; integration of GIS, CityGML and Building Information Modelling (BIM); and Google Earth application.
