Summary on Grant Application Form |

If the building industry is to remain competitive in the future it has to become more efficient and more responsive to the needs of clients and users. Computers can assist in both these areas and the aim of this project is to illustrate the kind of technology that will be available to the average practitioner on a personal computer within the next 25 years. The vehicle is a stand at the Interbuild 95 exhibition which is being provided at no cost and will contain two sets of related exhibits. One is being organised by Ove Arup and Partners and will illustrate how engineering design and construction technology is developing and changing. The other is being organised by Bath University and will demonstrate work on urban modelling and design. This will comprise a large screen interactive computer display which will illustrate three applications currently under development. These include:1. A simulation of how a 1:1250 map might look in 20 years time with features above and below ground represented in 3D and objects in the map related to external databases.2. A demonstration of interactive urban design using the Bath computer model.3. A virtual reality simulation of Edinburgh New Town showing how computers will radically alter the planning and development control system.
