Introduce the Germantown Project.
Geographically referenced building foot prints are imported from GIS data with all the information attached.
Its’ s not just GIS, any data can import. For example, I am working on a freelance project with Kim Douglas, Landscape Architect and Director of the Landscape Architecture Program at Philadelphia university and Morris Zimmerman with BDW Architecure on a plan for the Germantown High School Building…..We are presenting to Cordova …. Design for turning that block into to hopefully act as a catylyst project to stimulate that economic corridor
