Interactive Design of Urban Spaces using Geometrical and Behavioral Modeling - SIGGRAPH Asia 2009

Carlos A. Vanegas, Daniel G. Aliaga, Bedrich Benes, Paul A. Waddell - Purdue University - University of California, Berkeley - The main contribution of our work is in closing the loop between behavioral and geometrical modeling of cities. Editing of urban design variables is performed intuitively and visually using a graphical user interface. Any design variable can be constrained or changed. The design process uses an iterative dynamical system for reaching equilibrium: a state where the demands of behavioral modeling match those of geometrical modeling. 3D models are generated in a few seconds and conform to plausible urban behavior and urban geometry. Our framework includes an interactive agent-based behavioral modeling system as well as adaptive geometry generation algorithms. We demonstrate interactive and incremental design and editing for synthetic urban spaces spanning over 200 square kilometers.

oh my god.

the best social simulation ever seen!!!

awesome!!!

may I ask which university and department is this project belong to ?
