title	A Multimedia City Model for Environmental Impact Assessment and Public Consultation
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.1993.x.b0g
source	[eCAADe Conference Proceedings] Eindhoven (The Netherlands) 11-13 November 1993
summary	Experiments with different techniques for creating multimedia models of city zones are being carried out in the School of Architecture in University of Portsmouth. This work is part of a cooperative project with the Department of Economics, the New Media Centre, and the Photogrammetry Unit in the Department of Geography, aimed at developing a prototype multimedia model of a sizable part of the City of Portsmouth. The model is designed to facilitate user interaction, and will be tested to evaluate its potential contribution to the process of public consultation, and in facilitating communication between different specialists engaged in the production of environmental impact statements required by the EC Environmental Impact Directive (851337).

title	A Tool for Conceptual Design Evaluation Based on Compliance with Site-Development Briefs and Related Planning Regulations
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.1993.x.c6i
source	[eCAADe Conference Proceedings] Eindhoven (The Netherlands) 11-13 November 1993
summary	The need has been established for a computer based decision support tool to use during the conceptual stages of architectural design. The main functions are to check design compliance with the requirements of local planning authorities; characteristics evaluated will include building size, height, plot ratios, circulation and accessibility, and the preservation of natural features on site. This tool is being developed to operate under AutoCAD environment; the construction industry standard computer aided design software, following standard layering convention, integrated command lines, and pull-down menus. In addition to the common graphical output; i.c. plans, elevations and three dimensional models, it will generate textual analysis in report format to use as part of the Environmental Impact Analysis of proposed development. The tool's functions will be based upon the result of two types of field studies. First, interviews and questionnaires will be carried out with architects and planners of both private and public sectors. These will cover issues related to the performance of Computer Aided Architectural Design applications with regard to the evaluation of design schematics, and decision-making for the production of data for environmental statements. Second, field observation and participation will be carried out to observe decision-makers behaviour during assessment of building design proposals. A prototype is currently under development and will be tested against the expectations of the tool designer, Ashraf Ismail, and a team of professionals to be involved in the field studies. A critical analysis of the prototype design methodology and the study findings will be documented in the research thesis to be presented in June 1995.

title	Dedicated CAD for Apparel Design III. Case Studies
source	Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 1993 v.1 p.410-415
summary	The work described here represents an attempt to devise CAD techniques appropriate to the apparel industry. An integrated approach is outlined which provides a greater justification for CAD, other than the ability to produce a single image of a design concept. In addition, high level tools are described which enable 3D design specifications to be evolved without exhaustive dimensional input.
