Special Event „Visionary Perspectives“
Talks & Discussion on „Computational Modelling of Complex Urban and Landscape Systems“

Guest Speakers: Fabian Pitscheider, Viktoria Sandor, Gerhard Schmitt, Jakub Tyc
Moderator: Michael U. Hensel

The special event introduces futures perspectives on computational modelling of complex urban and landscape systems, and the connections of environment, ecology, architecture, and the city. The invited experts will present their ground-breaking and future-oriented approaches and research on this topic. The four presentations will be followed by a discussion of possible connection points and overlaps between the presented works, research gaps, and emergent research trajectories.

June 6 – 7, 2024, full day | Room 1 + Room 2
Sessions 1-8: Paper Presentations

Presentations will be given at the conference by outstanding authors whose papers have been selected by a two-phase peer review process.
The selection was based on the JoDLA 2024 Call for Papers: https://www.dla-conference.com/call-for-paper/

Accepted papers are published in the Journal Digital Landscape Architecture JoDLA. The Journal of Digital Landscape Architecture JoDLA addresses all aspects of digital technologies, applications, information, and knowledge bases in research, education, and practice pertaining to landscape architecture and related fields. The journal publishes original papers that address theoretical and practical issues, innovative developments, methods, applications, findings, and case studies that are drawn primarily from work presented at the annual international Digital Landscape Architecture conference. Its intent is to encourage the broad dissemination of these ideas, innovations, and practices. The Journal of Digital Landscape Architecture is listed in the international citation database Scopus. The JoDLA has an open access policy.
Detailed informations and past issues of the Journal of Digital Landscape Architecture JoDLA are available at: jodla.info
