Building geometry, urban morphology and local climate are crucial aspects to optimize the energy performance of buildings at neighborhoods scale. In addition, urban form is a key parameter in modifying solar availability in densely... more
Sustainable urban development and the liveability of a city are increasingly important issues in the context of land use planning and infrastructure management. In recent years, the promotion of sustainable urban development in Australia... more
This paper presents a comprehensive procedural 3D modelling solution called Virtual City Maker, which relies on scripting algorithms for automatic generation of photorealistic virtual urban content. This solution uses the combination of... more
Abstract: This paper focuses on a new,definition of urbanization trends by investigating the concept of a fuzzy urban boundary,(UB) that assigns different membership,levels to urbanized aggregates based on a proposed,composite,index. The... more
The paper presents the development of a configurational model for the identification and analysis of what has been called "weak heritage", and its application on Valparaíso. The main objective of the paper is to contribute to... more

Continual, historical, and spatio-temporal information about the land use and land cover (LULC) changes of theEarth’s surface is extremely important for any kind of sustainable development program, in which LULC serves as one of the major... more

Urban spatial structure and mobility patterns co-evolve. A fundamental process that underpins the emergent structure of cities and commuting patterns is location choice with respect to housing and employment. Consequently , location... more
Abstract: Cities throughout the world are currently experiencing increased levels of urbanisation resulting in pressure for densification. Questions about the impact on mental health and general liveability are being raised in response to... more

How and why do houses densify over time? What is the impact of that growth and what kind of constraints affect their potential to change? This research explores built form change and densification, providing historical evidence from the... more
In this paper we present the general-purpose simulation infrastructure MAGI, with features and computational strategies particularly relevant for strongly geo-spatially oriented simulations. Its main characteristics are (1) a... more
The present investigation describes a method for sampling bidirectional reflectance information from multiangular airborne images. The method uses high resolution surface models in the determination of the location of the imaged point on... more
