Descrizione dell'iniziativa

The event, which will be held from 16 to 19 July 2024, is divided into two phases: a workshop led by Andres Sevtsuk, Associate Professor of Urban Science and Planning and Head of the City Design and Development Group at MIT in Boston, and a round table.

  • The workshop will introduce participants to the concepts of modeling pedestrian flows on street networks using the spatial analysis tools of the UNA toolbox in Rhinoceros 3D. The workshop will describe the capabilities and application areas of UNA tools in walkability planning and design, provide practical tutorials on the different features of the software, and introduce participants to training exercises using different datasets. Participants will examine how built environments produce pedestrian mobility and how changes in built environments can alter pedestrian mobility, with applications in urban design, architecture, urban planning, and sustainable mobility.
  • The round table will offer a debate on useful tools for measuring the quality of cycle-pedestrian paths and their role in guiding policies for inclusive and sustainable mobility.

Periodo di svolgimento

dal July 2024 a July 2024

Calendario

Day 1 (TUE)16 July, 2024
9.00 – 10.00Introduction.
10.00 – 13.00Software installation, introduction to setting up 2D & 3D networks. Exercise 1 handed out and completed in class.
12.00-13.00Teams formed and homework distributed for representing a chosen design scheme as a spatial network
13.00 – 14.00Lunch
14.00 – 16.00Introduction to pedestrian flow modeling. Exercise 2 handed out and started in class (continued as homework).
16.00 – 17.30Teams work independently on documenting the chosen scheme as a network in Rhino. Desk-crits examine the network representations of their schemes.
Day 2 (WED)17 July, 2024
9.00 – 10.00Discussion of Exercise 2 results.
10.00-12.00Introduction to spatial patronage estimation and analysis of pedestrian flow with multiple competing destinations.

13.00 – 14.00Lunch
14.00 – 15.00Introduction Exercise 4 to model detours and "frustration points" for pedestrians in spatial networks, finding clusters along networks, generating service areas, and alternative routes.
15.00 – 17.00Desk-crits while teams work on the analysis of their schemes and presentation materials.
