Concept

Community Visualizations is collaborative urban renewal project located in Kingston,

NY. By using sophisticated 3D tools, my thesis will visualize for the community the impact of the Broadway Theatre Square

Plan.

VisualizationsVarious types of programs such as Google SketchUp that allow users to easily create visualizations

Working with SketchUp showed me the difference in quality between low and high resolution visualizations

Seeing the possible benefit from High Res visualizations: Eliminates the cartoony feel and can provide a better understanding of the impact of projects.
