Description
Open space analysis (OSA) has found many applications in recent years, ranging from pedestrian route planning to surveillance, and should be a component of any civil engineering curriculum. Written with the student in mind, yet valuable to anyone in the field whose education preceded the recent emergence of OSA, this book presents OSA fundamentals as well as advanced computational and cognitive concepts. Each chapter provides case studies, a set of exercises, and suggestions for further reading. Accompanied by a CD-ROM of OSA software, the text provides complete coverage of landscape architecture, partitioning of urban spaces, agent-based simulations, complexity analysis, and much more.
