When you look at the relationship between
big data, architecture, and city planning
we're starting to realize that having more
and more data about the city that we're trying
to develop really helps us to understand the
way that we should actually approach designing
that city.
We can look at things like energy and energy
clusters and where we might be able to save
energy through a combination of which buildings
are placed near each other, or centralized
services.
We can look at transportation networks and
how we can really enable people to get around
a city better.
A lot of the work that I do, dealing with
virtual reality or augmented reality, is basically
taking a whole lot of that data and actually
making it into an accessible and really understandable
format, whether it's 3-D models, or you know
different graphs, or what have you.
Big data allows us to see how things are coming
into play, make predictions, and better understand
our world.
