Communication is critical and often the key to a successful design process. Taking advantage of advancements in data collection, mapping, 3D visualization, and virtual reality, we can get the most bang for our buck during the design phase of our trails and parks. In this session, we will demonstrate the value of drones, 360 photography, and 3D to communicate our projects to our stakeholders.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the opportunities provided through technology
- How to conduct site visits and get the most of your time in the field.
- How to turn field work into digital assets to use in design.
- How to visually communicate design, and how to work with other consultants, with stake holders and with the public.
- Give examples of how technology helped facilitate design comprehension
- Identify challenges with adopting technology
Attendees will take away specific examples of the use of technology in trail and park design, and the challenged associated with applying technology in the design process.
Very informative talk! The keen coordination of available technologies can positively impact the planning stages and development of trail projects where challenging budgets and/or multiple stakeholders normally impede progress.
