A Study of 3D Spatial Model of Urban Mixed-Use Visual Simulation in Taipei City

Abstract

In the past years, computer visual simulation is more important in many research domains. Architect and developer can easy estimate architectural design in specialized field with tools of computer-aided design (CAD). But it is not enough for urban planning and design. Because a real urban environment must links to other spatial information. Besides, the urbanization is very fast in Taiwan, mixed-uses is common situation in every city. It is not only 2D problems, also distribute over 3D space. So this research is aimed at discussing how to represent mixed-uses in different city or in different scale to satisfy urban planer or designer that require the information of abundant urban activity.
