Big Data Questions Cannot Be Answered Without GIS

Posted on 18. May, 2013 by .

I would suggest that so called Big Data is dependent upon computing systems and applications that not only are capable of computational abilities, but are also geo-capable of multi-disciplinary, geo-refrepresentative of processes. erenced spatial analysis. Big Data questions occur where overlaps arise. They are 3D and reality based and lend themselves to geostatistical analysis. Simulation [...]

smartgeometry 2013 London: 3D, Optimisation and Sensor-Based Adaptive Design

Posted on 23. Apr, 2013 by .

1

Many speakers at the smartgeometry 2013 event in London, UK last week spoke about the changing nature of design. Computers are now contributing toward design in new and previously unknown ways. The rate at which different designs can be  generated, tested and decided upon, is accelerating. But  it is not only shape and form that [...]

Using maps and graphics, the infrastructure cost of the Paris, France Metro is provided on a per square meter basis. Not all stations are created equal – a fact displayed when viewing some of the costs of the Metro stations. Charts also provide information on per line basis for different routes, showing costs between stations [...]

Nicolas Garcia Belmonte has created a unique visualization that tracks U.S. wind patterns over 72 hours based upon the last 72 hours of National Weather Service Data.  ”This map tracks wind direction (lines), speed (radius) and temperature (hue) measurements from 1200 weather stations across the country. You can play an animation of the wind movements and [...]
