Landscape architecture and the digital turn: Towards a productive critique

A simulation-based design framework to iteratively analyze and shape urban landscapes using point cloud modeling

“…Current practice and theory in landscape design increasingly use digital methods to integrate dynamic conditions of the environment with scientific feedback to predict how designs will perform when they are implemented (Grêt-Regamey et al, 2014;Walliss, 2018). The notion of "digital twin" has emerged to describe the simulation of physical assets in time and at various frequencies for monitoring and planning cities (Batty, 2018).…”
