TABLE
1: ANN ARBOR MODELS OF ARCHIMEDES. Material in the table is
formed from screen captures of content from the Google 3D
Warehouse. Many of these models, and their predecessors, have
been employed in Ann Arbor, since 1999, by the Planning Department
(under the direction of Karen Hart) and Planning Commission, by the
Environmental Coordinator (Matthew Naud), and by the Downtown
Development Authority (DDA), Susan Pollay, Executive Director.
They continue to be employed by various municipal authorities to the
present. Additionally, one set has served as a foundation for a
course taught at The University of Michigan in the spring of 2007 in
the School of Natural Resources and Environment. |

TABLE 2: POPULATION-ENVIRONMENT MODELS OF ARCHIMEDES. Material in the table is formed from screen captures of content from the Google 3D Warehouse. The links that show visualization of the geometric components of Christaller's historical urban hierarchy use the power of the method to visualize historical materials. So, too, do the links to historic demographic data. When buildings and bar charts are envisioned as topologically equivalent then it becomes a simple matter to envision population data in place on the surface of the Earth. Conversely, virtual 3D life can be inserted into two-dimensional graphs that offer only limited views of reality. The final display in this set shows potential flooding hazard, in relation to buildings, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. These virtual 3D models have been employed by both planners and staff in City Hall as one aid in decision-making. They continue to be used in that manner. |
