@article{Moura_2013, title={Landscape design or parameterization? Recent tendencies in geo-technologies for representing and planning urban territory}, volume={6}, url={https://disegnarecon.unibo.it/article/view/3374}, DOI={10.6092/issn.1828-5961/3374}, abstractNote={The text discusses the state-of-the-art of GIS Technologies in planning and management processes of urban and architectural spaces. It presents latest’s evolution in GIS methodology and applications, discussing how these resources have changed our way of representing and projecting territory. It discusses contemporaneous values, in interventions into urban spaces. The paper also presents legislation’s role in data registers and infrastructure, favoring wide employment of geoprocessing. It announces the arrival of new territorial representation logics, among which is azimuth visualization, considering mental maps, the employment of BIM (Building Information Modeling) and the process of parameterization. It points out tendencies and values, such as being inter- operational, creating interpretative portraits for reality, producing simulated scenarios, investing in visualizing and involvement with communities, and fully employing geo-technologies, as aids for decision making. It defends that we are living a new paradigm on territorial planning: the Parametric Modeling of Territorial Occupation.}, number={11}, journal={DISEGNARECON}, author={Moura, Ana Clara Mourão}, year={2013}, month={Jan.}, pages={3–10} }
