Based on two decades of practicing and teaching architecture, author Brian McGrath's Digital Modelling for Urban Design explores the new theories and technologies of digital modelling, focusing on how to create moving and interactive 3D drawing, skills useful in the context of urban theory, and design and representation. Fully illustrated with original maps, 3D models, and drawings and photographs, this innovative work introduces digital modelling to students, architects, designers, and planners interested in the processes key to shaping the urban environment. -- 73701 City planning City planning 73701 Computer Simulation Communities 78821 Urban Groups lcc 6 HT166 General M43 2008 217399 217399 0 0 lcc 0 0 4 4 33 2010-02-21 amazon 49.50 450602 1 General HT166 M43 2008 91000000013466 2020-02-05 00:00:00 2016-08-25 1 59.50 6
