Abstract

This paper describes several experiments in visualizing implications of landscape planning and design decisions using a combination of GIS, CAD and video animation technology. We use simple grid-cell GIS databases and site-scale polygonal models to provide visualizations of site planning design proposals and environmental impacts, with both static and animated images. Rather than pursuing 'photo-realistic' simulations, we are interested in how abstractions and representational conventions can be used to gauge visual and environmental impacts of proposals for landscape change, in a dynamic, interactive computer-aided design environment.
