Introductions

I am Duncan Bain, a Glasgow-based architecture graduate and current MPhil researcher at the University of Edinburgh.

This presentation introduces one of the projects that I have recently taken part in; the creation of community developed 3D building information and open source architectural model data, and explores where this technology might lead us to.

OpenStreetMap and Architects

Overview of the Gorbals Project

A project, initiated by MAKLab in Glasgow, to develop tools for community assets mapping and the creation of materials that could be used by community organisations and individuals in development work.

An experiment in creating 3D visualisations and architectural models from open data.

Workflow OSM Tags

building:heightSets the buildings height from ground level to top of roof.

building:levelsSets the number of stories and can be used to approximate total height.

roof:heightSets height from top of roof to the eaves

roof:shapeSets generic roof configuration, including typical forms such as gable, hipped, mansard etc.

From OSM to OSM2World

Export .osm file of desired area from JOSM or OSM website.

Open OSM2World and select “Open OSM File”

Large filesizes and areas with highly detailed buildings will take a while to process

Workflow

OSM2World

OSM2World to 3D CAD Processing

Export data as .obj file

Import .obj file in to preferred CAD programme (eg. Sketchup, Rhino)

Clean up glitches and excess data

Workflow

Workflow 3D CAD processing

Fabrication

From CAD package, file can be exported for 3D printing

Increasing number of local 3D printing and digital fabrication services

Online services like Shapeways deliver in a range of materials

Will this concept be expanded to cover other areas?

Might every buildlng on OSM one day have height and shape data?

Could this data provide a tool to create cheap and open tools and materials for community groups and designers seeking to transform their local areas?

Where to take the technology? http://maps.osm2world.org/

How to get there? Apple Maps and Google EarthLIDAR and Photography

How to get there?

What tools currently exist that offer potential routes of exploration in developing this technology?

How can we develop the data required, and how can and should that data be integrated into OpenStreetMap?

How can both OpenStreetMap and designers benefit from this exploration?

How to get there? Terrafabhttp://terrafab.bengler.no/

How to get there? OS Open DataOS Terrain 50

How to get there? OS Open DataOS Vectormap District

How to get there? Terrainatorhttp://terrainator.com/

Wikihouse/OpenDesk ModelOpen data and local fabrication

How to get there?

How to streamline the process?

Can OS contour (or other 3D data) be incorporated into OSM, or attached as standalone service? Is this even desirable?How can building footprints work to fit this 3D surface?

Need to develop a system similar to export settings on OSM website - Simple!

How to get there?


How can architects and other design professionals working in the built environment incorporate OpenStreetMap into their practices?

How might OpenStreetMap be developed to better serve these practices?

Where do architects fit in the open knowledge and data movement and how can they contribute?

OSM at an ‘architectural’ scale?

Will there ever be a demand for accuracy to the scale of architectural working drawings?

How to achieve accuracy at this scale using existing OSM techniques?

Where to find and how to collect this data?


OpenStreetMap and Architects A student army of mappers!

INPUTS: Geographical data, CADesign data

OUTPUTS: Improved accuracy of geographical data, CADesign data,Architecture?!

PROCESS (Tools): CAD packages, Fabrication technologies (models, components)
