Aedas R&D Computational Design and Research Group contribution to the ‘Linking Differences—Defining Actions’ workshop, part of the EDRA 39th Annual Conference, explains the work on three-dimensional isovists developed by the Group.
This work is the result of a collaboration between the Computational Design team and the New York based architecture office Davis Brody Bond Aedas for the design of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, New York (World Trade Centre Memorial Museum).
The paper introduces the design context that prompted the development of 3D Isovists, and the two basic methods and their variations developed as part of the research.
