The simulations are based on the stocks and flows model and include parameters such as density, transportation, materials, capital, sustainability and visualization. Topics include but are not limited to the teaching of GIS based city modeling and simulation, building simulation, visualization and the prototyping of large scale city models. This course will start with a focus on collaboration, introduce design pattern recognition and implementation into urban models. The course continues with techniques for energy simulation and cost estimation on an urban scale and introduces methods for the realtime visualization of urban scenarios. Recent urban growth prediction systems are introduced as well as techniques for the mining of urban data sets to gain insights from the non-visual textures of urban fabrics.

The course is structured into 8 lectures, three initial workshop, corresponding exercises, contact hours, and independent work. Working in groups is a core part of the didactic concept.

Lecture, Mo 8-9:30, HIT H12: Jan Halatsch
Exercises, Mo 10-11:30, HIT H12: Jan Halatsch, Julia Dyllong
