3D Mock-ups of landscapes: the new tools for studying and analyzing landscapes?
The concept of creating 3D mock-ups of complex items like landscapes has been much debated over the past twenty years. Architects, landscape designers, town planners and engineers have long dreamt of being able to visualize, manipulate and modify a miniature version of a landscape which would be as detailed and as realistic as the real one surrounding them. The laws regulating the preservation of landscapes, the building of major projects, town planning, the management of our forests... all these are very sensitive issues in which the application of 3D technology has demonstrated its extraordinary capacities to clarify, help conceive and assist during the consulting and decision-making processes. Today, with the revolution of digital mapping, present in every aspect of our lives, and the dazzling progress in aerial photography, what is the current situation of the technologies of modeling landscapes? What are software designers planning? What are the stakes for the landscape planning industry? How can these new technologies be integrated into the busy daily routine of agencies? What are the most recent experiences in the field? Which major projects have used them? What are their advantages and their limits?

“Land-Tech-Scape-Nology” or the inextricable link between Technology and Landscape design
by Dr Stephen Ervin, Lecturer and Director of the Computer Resources Group of the University of Harvard (Information Technology Laboratory for Landscape Architecture) and a member of the American Society of Landscape Architects.
Landscape design professionals are all technologically aware as they require specific tools in order to manipulate the complex world we live in. These professions carry out complex exercises involving temporal and geographic scales which are often highly challenging; technology has evolved in line with such requirements, and many new tools have appeared over the past few years. Professor Stephen Ervin will, through specific examples, demonstrate how the way in which we consider and conceive landscapes is shaped by the evolution of the technologies which allow us to represent and visualize them.

Landscaping and 3d Tools - Which workflow should be chosen
by Sebastien Pouget, Business developer, Autodesk Civil 3D, ISV Division.
Autodesk proposes to bring together all the actors of land development around the multi-field federator platform Autodesk Civil 3D, associating a dynamic object oriented 3D model, with AutoCAD, and Autodesk Map 3D. This is the 3D convergence of GIS and CAD applied to land development. In a unique environment: use your geospatial data, model your projects in 3D, create realistic model of your territory.
The Autodesk Civil 3D model is based on a dynamic 3D data model; each modification on one of the objects is automatically taken into account on the entirety of the model. From the first phases of the project: use 3D rendering tools and appreciate the impact of your projects in a realistic model of the modified territory.
Discover the benefit of Autodesk Civil 3D on various real land development and site modeling projects (road design, new light rail project, urban context) at various stages of their lifecycle.
Presentation will be suported by real customer projects used as samples in Landscape and Urban planning.

Making the invisible visible: A study of the landscape by simulation of scenarios
By Isabella Mambretti from the Institute of Spatial and Landscaping Planification.
Isabella Mambretti will explain, through the study of practical cases, how the development of methods of studying landscapes based on 3D model visual scenarios is a very actual issue concerning both the creation and the communication of a project. It notably allows, by the transformation of quantitative results into qualitative information, to convey, simply and accurately, to a lay audience the complex mechanics which govern nature and the landscape that is being designed. Urban planning operations are often too complex to proceed directly from the program to the project. The intermediate status of « Strategy » is often necessary, but this often throws up numerous problems where visualization is concerned. It must go beyond abstraction and convey the atmosphere that is intended, whilst allowing other interpretations (different projects) to be imagined. Whilst means of simulation are developing, allowing one to visualize either what exists already or what will shortly be in existence, the representation of « Strategies » has never been pursued seriously or provided satisfactory results.

Rapid modeling of large landscapes WITH LandSIM3D®
by Stéphane GOURGOUT, Co-founder and Commercial director of Bionatics.
A faithful representation of landscapes in 3D format was for a long time an extremely difficult exercise, and the preserve of a handful of specialists. The democratization of 2D mapping data and 3D geographic data and aerial photos, as well as the spectacular development of visualization technologies, now allow fast and faithful reproductions of landscapes from which new tools for analyzing the landscape, mixing cartography and real time visualization, can be used in design offices. |

Modeling of 3D cities: what other applications?
by Mr. Frank BILDSTEIN, Director of the Modeling of data bases, Rheinmetall Defence Electronics, Simulation Systems Division, Germany.
The modeling of complete cities in 3D format is currently booming and numerous municipalities are purchasing a 3D virtual mapping of their city. However, beyond the obvious major applications, linked to urbanism or tourism, this asset can also be used for very different strategic uses. Frank BILDSTEIN will demonstrate through specific actual cases how these digital mock-ups and the investment made can be further exploited. One such example is the training of the drivers of the German police and firemen by way of driving simulators.
