Creating Community: Scaling Performance Models

AbstractEven as computational design tools accelerate design processes, pragmatic constraints in professional practice exist. Resources of time, talent, tools, and methodologies make professionals turn to the visualization techniques to illustrate and project the impact of design-thinking. This talk explores how design approaches synthesize conditional parameters that, today, must convey value at various scales to engender community benefit and socio-economic return, irrespective of working in the public or private sector. The acquired knowledge obtained through focused visual simulation studies, scale-up to inform human, building, and urban performance outcomes for the design of healthier cities and places.
