Urban Design and Representation: A Multidisciplinary and Multisensory Approach

The chapters are linked by their relevance to simple but crucial questions: How can representational solutions enhance an urban design approach in which people’s well-being is considered the primary goal? How can one best represent and design the ambiance of places? What kinds of technologies and tools are available to support multisensory urban design? How can current and future environments be optimally represented and simulated, taking into account the way in which we experience places? Sheddingnew light on these key questions, the book offers both a reference guide for those engaged in applied research, and a toolkit for professionals and students.
