Since the earthquake in 1999, old multifamily houses with a maximum of 4 storeys have been gradually being replaced with taller, newer buildings, nearly doubling the number of inhabitants.

1. Concept The territory is located in the center of Moscow. It is one of the busiest districts in the city, so it is highly affected by work places and amount of residents. I wonder, how it might develop, if there would be no historical buildings. As a main point of attraction I used metro …
1. Concept The general concept is to analyze scenarios for different rules of attractions within the generated street network using provided C# components. The first simulation will create a family-friendly community – low density, friendly social environment with fewer places of work located within the district. The second simulation will work with the opposite type of …
Every day the people wake up and make the world turn. In early 2023 in France manifestations anti pension reform protests took place in many cities, the most symbolic being Paris. This is a small homage to the people who fight for their rights because if austerity and exploitation are the new horizons, the people …
1. Concept The initial concept is based on the idea of simulating models of sustainable urban planning. Currently, the built environment generates 40% of annual global CO2 emissions. As consequences to the Climate Change, the building sector needs to drastically reduce its resource consumption. As architects or urban planners, we are able to influence the …

1. Concept The main aim is to generate a simplified version of the Concentric Zone Model proposed by Ernest W. Burgess. Burgess proposed an urban land use plan organized around the central business district in concentric rings. Each ring includes a different land use. Fig. 1: Concentric Zone Model (https://urbandesignlab.in/understanding-the-concentric-zone-model/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=understanding-the-concentric-zone-model) The Burgess model illustrates the …
1.Concept Sadra town, located on the outskirts of Shiraz, Iran, was developed as a suburban area to facilitate the city’s expansion. The project is still ongoing and being carried out in multiple phases. However, the second phase has generated controversy as it comprises solely of residential houses and miniature gardens within each residential area, without …
1. Concept In order to get a deeper understanding of urban simulation, I decided to write a script which concentrates on the distribution of different parts of population into a new quarter according to their preferences. For my project, I choose one of the last inner urban areas in Leipzig which is characterized by a …
1. Concept It all started with a gaming evening with friends in which we had a competitive Jenga tournament going on. Jenga is a simple architectural game based on statics and a steady hand. A tower of wooden blocks, 3 in each row is crosswise piled up. In order, each group member carefully tries to …
