Protection of the waterfront panoramas based on computational 3D-analysis

Rubinowicz, Paweł

Article:

The article presents the application of the Visual Protection Surface (VPS)method in protecting waterfront panoramas. The digital analysis of visual impact,which is most frequently used in urban planning, assesses the impact of newinvestment on the cityscape. The study presented in the article is based on areverse approach -determining the maximum height of buildings so new facilitiesdo not distort protected vistas in a city, vistas which are crucial for thepreservation of the city's cultural identity and spatial identification. Theassessment of the application is based on a case study of Gdańsk, Poland, wherea 3D LiDAR model was used. The study involved the use of software developed bythe author (C++). It also analyzed VPS input parameters. Conclusions can beused to assess and verify analysis findings with different software (GIS/CAD). Thearticle shows the potential application of the VPS method in urban planning.
