GeoDesign for Collaborative Planning
- 1. GeoDesign for Collaborative Planning Tom Gardner
- 9. What is Design? Design is the thought process comprising the creation of an entity
- 10. What makes design unique? Imagination from imagination to rendition with zero impedance Visualization maps, 3D views, animations, charts, reports Assessment on the fly (as we design) and fully developed reports Rapid Iteration
- 12. GeoDesign?
- 13. "GeoDesign is a design and planning method which tightly couples the creation of design proposals with impact simulations informed by geographic contexts"
- 14. Motivation For GeoDesign (McHarg) A framework for design that helps humans achieve synergy with nature. A process by which “environmental data could be incorporated into the planning process” Rather than conquering the natural world, we should use our dominance of the earth systems to make them better “not humans versus nature but humans with nature”

- 17. Why GeoDesign? Shortcomings: Lack of systematic process of monitoring implications and impacts Lack of geo-database and information Lack of spatial reference Final product may not represent initial design and concepts Hard to make changes Lack of data dissemination Individual interpretation of the design concepts We need a new approach to Land Use Planning

Editor's Notes
- In his book Design with Nature (1969), Ian McHarg advocated a frameworkfor design that helps humans achieve synergy with nature. Design andplanning, which take into consideration both environmental and socialissues, help us to ensure that our resources are used appropriately andresponsibly, to help us move towards a better future (McHarg 1969).McHarg’s pioneering work not only had a fundamental influence on theup-and-coming field of environmental planning, but also simultaneouslystrengthened the core concepts of the young field of GIS as well.In his book, McHarg laid out a process by which “environmental datacould be incorporated into the planning process.” Rejecting the view of afuture modelled after some idyllic environmental past, he adopted the viewthat we should be using our dominance of the earth systems to help in theevolution of the natural world and make it better, rather than “conquer” it.Powerful anthropogenic influence over earth systems represents not just ahuge challenge, but an equally huge opportunity—not humans versus nature,but humans with nature.Today, more than ever before, it is importantto recognize the overwhelming impact of humans on the environment,and that the massive human impacts on the earth are a reality that is notgoing away, and that we stand at the crossroads. Thus, our challenge isproviding designers, engineers, planners, and others with a set of toolsand a framework for designing and managing the anthropogenic earth
