Construcción de modelos de ciudad: una perpesctiva arquitectónica a partir de los productos del Institut Cartogràfic de Catalunya

Abstract

Currently a variety of drawing and modeling techniques exists, which allow carrying out quality architectural projects efficiently. The initial steps to start a project are often time consuming, this is due (in part) to the primary information leading to the need to seek appropriate cartography which allows contextualizing the project correctly. This information is often complex, with a high content of data, difficult to understand and manipulate, especially in the architectural field. This article describes a workflow for using the free information provided by the Institut Cartogràfic de Catalunya on their website, with drawing and modeling software’s used in the field of architecture to detect, strengths and weakness posed by such products when they are used as tools in the development of architectural and city models
