Understanding a city from its visuals: An interdisciplinary program proposal

Abstract

This study aims to provide an overview on the intersection and interaction between architecture, urban modeling, planning fields and computer vision field. The reflection of the methods and approaches of fields such as visual recognition, natural language processing, data mining and data visualization onto architecture and urban studies are investigated and potentials of inter/transdisciplinary encounters are unfolded through research questions. This study can be considered as an initial attempt to constitute a common and sustainable platform for advancing efficient inter/transdisciplinary and cross-domain collaborations.
