{"product_id":"digital-modelling-for-urban-design-isbn-9780470034781","title":"Digital Modelling for Urban Design","description":"While there is a rich array of urban theory, design, and representation books available, there is currently no book which brings together, in a single volume, urban design theory and new digital technologies in urban information mapping, modeling, and 3D simulation. 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.

The book is both theoretical and practical. For the main examples – Rome, New York and Bangkok – McGrath draws on his own experience of living and working in these three cities on three different continents. Analytical discussions of the cities combine historical and abstract knowledge with the 'ground truth' of empirical experience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile a rich array of urban studies books have been published over the last thirty years, there is currently no single book like this that brings together urban design theory and new digital technologies in urban information mapping, modelling and 3-d simulation, as a way of understanding how cities transform and differentiate over time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989067383013,"sku":"NP9780470034781","price":53.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470034781.jpg?v=1761782659","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/digital-modelling-for-urban-design-isbn-9780470034781","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
