Abstract

Modelling Arabic Urban Cores using CityEngine : workflows & strategies
Track: 3D Cities and Campuses
Authors: Elliot Hartley

In the course of our City master planning projects we have had to model in 3D the existing situation of our study areas. This is a relatively easy task in new urban areas. The difficulty comes when trying to write a procedural rule file to describe a densely packed historic Arabic urban core. This presentation will describe in detail how we did it in CityEngine & suggests best practices & workflows that can be used in other contexts.
