This paper makes the case for Digital Social Innovation as a step toward democratic participation and engagement in planning process. Information communication technologies are increasingly playing major part mobilizing collective social political action response to outdated policies practices. With transport infrastructures constrained by unprecedented global impact of COVID-19, DSI can potent...

In this paper we propose foregrounding concepts of visual abstraction and soundscape to inform a Geodesign process that is inclusive of a wider variety of people (designers, users, participants) and considers a wider degree of inputs (e.g. multimodal) in the design and planning of landscape. Two key research areas are reviewed: visualization abstraction (in relation to future uncertainty) & sou...

Scientific-applied training as higher skill training needs to be developed and expanded in a purposeful and structured way. Undoubtedly, in the meantime, land development planning can have a special role and position in order to pay attention to the balanced local and regional development, and in this way prevent the waste of budget and human resources. The main purpose of this article is the a...

Higher Education has struggled to acknowledge and translate into better teaching and learning practices that sizeable literature base suggesting a link between cognitive style, learning preferences and performance. Eighty undergraduate students on a primary education degree were studied to examine the relationship between their cognitive style, learning preferences and perceived impact on their...

Building engineering is one of the keystones to economic competitiveness. As a consequence, computational models for planning and design are important research topics. To meet the expectation that computer-aid enables to produce better designs in shorter time, the tools built on these models need to be fully integrated into the work ow of architects. The paper presents the architecture of a pla...
