Architecture for Society of KnowledgeMaster degree course in Architecture and Urban Planningby Faculty of Architecture, Warsaw University of Technology

Geographic Information Systems - parametric representation of urban space



The communicative planning theory as a basis for the course.Key emphases:• all forms of knowledge are socially constructed, itʼs the social context within which individuals form

interests;• the development and communication of knowledge and reasoning take many forms;• the relations of power have the potential to oppress and dominate through the assumptions and

practices;• the public policies which seek to be efficient, effective and accountable need to draw upon knowledge

and reasoning; • this leads towards collaborative consensus-building practices, which have the capacity to endure, in

other words, to build cultures;• the planning work is both embedded in its context of social relations, and has a capacity to challenge

and change these relations.

“The essential tasks to achieve with the use of new media are: providing a communication platform which suppresses a barrier of non-professionalism, allowing for distant contacts and enabling participatory process management. “

“An image of the city that has artistic merits attracts its viewers with its seductive qualities and is likely to inspire immediate reactions”

“1. It is the work of the urban architect to capture, in a geometric web, such varied and dynamic human and natural elements. 2. The form of a city and the forms of its many elements are therefore shaped by multiple, independent forces, and each has independent measures of excellence. (...).

“Ultimately, dealing with the city we need to embrace its emergent nature, its unfolding events and ceaseless encounters that are informed and imagined by many people at a time.”

Liza Doolittle from My Fair Lady after Tollitt P.: "Words, words, words, I'm sick of words!



Main assumptions concerning expected students skills:

1. observation, analysis and then conversion of gathered data into comprehensible presentation - visualisation of data in an attractive way, also with the use of 3D geo-infographics

2. emphasis on the development of the analytical/methodological workshop

3. ‘crowd sourcing’ as a tool to gather information and to communicate with the public.



Charleroi Canal in Brussels – social polarisation as genesis of malfunctioning - visualisation, ASK seminarium GIS 2010/2011, tutor dr Malgorzata Hanzl, students: Agata Wierzbicka, Ewa Stankiewicz



Charleroi Canal in Brussels – social polarisation as genesis of malfunctioning - visualisation, Physical factors: 1. Open spaces in relation to residential area, 2. Relations between localisation of different functions ASK seminarium GIS 2010/2011, tutor dr Malgorzata Hanzl, students: Agata Wierzbicka, Ewa Stankiewicz



Charleroi Canal in Brussels – social polarisation as genesis of malfunctioning - visualisation, Physical factors: 1. Open spaces in relation to residential area, 2. Relations between buildings and their distance to the nearest shop, 3. Industrial buildings devided by the dependence on the canal ASK seminarium GIS 2010/2011, tutor dr Malgorzata Hanzl, students: Agata Wierzbicka, Ewa Stankiewicz



Charleroi Canal in Brussels – social polarisation as genesis of malfunctioning - visualisation, Social factors: 1. Division of neighborhood by the condition and status level, 2. Overlay of different layers ASK seminarium GIS 2010/2011, tutor dr Malgorzata Hanzl, students: Agata Wierzbicka, Ewa Stankiewicz



Spatial model of public transport in Wrocław – methods of managing the data: 1. manual, 2. potentially automatic, ASK seminarium GIS 2010/2011, tutor dr Malgorzata Hanzl, student: Tomasz Kujawski

„(...) After some experience with retyping data from website, checking compatibility with map, and writing up a new data sheet, I wish everybody to learn methods how to connect any datasheet to drawing. It is useful, for one can work on mastering THE QUESTION, not fingerjoints. (...)”



Wroclaw center’s borded drawn by capacity and location of tram transport nodes, proceeded for 7-9 a.m. On workdays, ASK seminarium GIS 2010/2011, tutor dr Malgorzata Hanzl, student: Tomasz Kujawski

„(...) value for each tram stop is counted in linear proportion to trams stopping. Relatively, the images show the proportion between usage of main nodes. Quantitatively, the capacity was calculated as the number of trams stopping multiplied by 240 (intuitively estimated average capacity of tram), and divided by 5, according to estimation that in the city center personal average travel would be 2,5km long (average 500m between stops) (...)”



Map of avarage buildings’ height in chosen directions form Wroclaw center, ASK seminarium GIS 2010/2011, tutor dr Malgorzata Hanzl, student: Tomasz Kujawski

„(...) Heights contain values from 5(for small industry) to 40 (for churches), and further they rely on newspaper knowledge about higher points. As the heights were assigned, the extrusion was proceeded according to (height) ^ 1.5 + 15. Because of that, the higher the point gets, the bigger the difference is. For 5 areas exceeding 60m the top point was taken. For gothic churches and towers, height of the nave's roof defined the total height. (...)”
