On the Determination of Building Footprints from LIDAR Data
A new approach to improve the determination of building boundaries through automatic processing of light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data is presented. The LIDAR data is processed and interpolated into a grayscale image of intensity values corresponding to height measurements. Ground measurements …

Verticality An Experiment on a Vertically Organized House
… living spaces which results in relatively large building footprints. As an alternative to this default horizontality, a vertically-oriented single family house is studied. The house takes advantage of the verticality by offering unusual spatial overlaps with a set of choreographed views …

GPS augmentation using digital spatial data
… digital surface models (DSMs), which include buildings and vegetation, and digital maps, have only been made widely available in recent years.<br/><br/>This thesis will report on a number of experiments that used spatial data of various complexity and accuracy for enhancing GPS performance. …

A Geospatial Assessment of Social Vulnerability to Sea-Level Rise in Coastal San Luis Obispo
… software to map social vulnerability scores and building footprints attributed each block group in the coastal planning area. To provide a preliminary assessment of exposure to sea-level rise hazards, social vulnerability and buildings are overlaid with existing spatial datasets for inundation, …

Estimating the presence of people in buildings using Call Detail Records
… and temporal scales at the level of individual buildings. Two shortcomings of any dataset include spatial uncertainty at very high resolution and the presence of high-fidelity traces for only a fraction of the population. While the proposed model addressed the former to some extent by providing …

Reimagining McKeldin Plaza, Baltimore, Maryland
… the space, such as materiality and surrounding building footprints, this design also encompasses the addition of a new arcade in order to allow a greater flow between the interior, commercial and exterior, civic spaces.

Role of city texture in identifying drag coefficients of buildings to prevent hurricane damage
… for construction depending on location and building type--standards known as building codes. Yet most codes remain insufficient as they account only for individual buildings and overlook the influence of city layout on wind speeds and storm damage. To reinvigorate design codes and better …

Dense urbanism at the old edge: conflict and reconciliation of streets and buildings
… block shapes and sizes, property boundaries and building footprints, is complemented by Space Syntax, focusing on the structure of street networks and connectivity. It is shown that new urban centers tend to grow on very large blocks accessed through major transportation infrastructure, but …

Adaptive electricity access planning
… scalable software systems for the extraction of building footprints from satellite imagery are presented. In addition, a novel model for probabilistic data fusion and other machine learning methods are compared for electrification status estimation. Inference tools such as these allow for the …

1-g Shake Table Experimental Evaluation of Building Settlements Founded on Liquefiable Soils
… New Zealand has documented extensive damage to buildings with shallow foundations resulting from liquefaction-induced settlement. Current practices in predicting degree of liquefaction-induced settlement are based on semi-empirical relationships for free-field conditions and do not consider …
