Sweden’s innovation agency Vinnova has granted a total investment of 100 million SEK to create new possibilities for virtual urban planning and analysis. Together with Chalmers’ department of Architecture and Civil Engineering, VirtualCity@Chalmers has steered and coordinated the application process and will be a central part of the center. Center director Anders Logg says: ”We…

Modern architecture of the early-20th century showed how the design of cities cannot be informed solely by top-down decisions. Urban planning and design deal with complex problems and require collective knowledge in order to understand, communicate and collaborate between stakeholders for a higher quality outcome. In 2011 and the 2017, the European Commission and the United…

Creating a digital city simulation tool has been on project founder and manager Anders Logg’s mind for a long time. Now the virtual city project is a reality and is gathering an increasingly large project team of highly skilled members from different areas of competence, as well as a growing external interest in the project.

Building Futures styrkeområdesledare och projektledare Anders Logg medverkade på TV4:s nyhetssändning 14 november 2018, där han berättade om att byggnader med flera inslag i stadsmiljöer påverkar vindförhållanden, och hur simuleringsverktyg som VirtualCity@Chalmers kan användas i planering och byggnation av goda miljöer. Alltid medvind? Det skulle nog de flesta av oss vilja ha, men få…

Building Futures’ Area of advance director and project manager Anders Logg was interviewed on the TV4 News on 14th November 2018, describing how buildings and other elements in city environments affect wind conditions, and also how simulation tools like VirtualCity@Chalmers can be used in the planning and building of good environments. Always tailwind? That…

Analysis of wind flow is an important factor in assessing the conditions for pedestrian comfort in a city. The geometries of buildings, in particular tall buildings, and their relative positions have a tremendous effect on the wind experienced by pedestrians on the ground level. Wind is a highly complex phenomenon and the analysis requires the…

Att analysera vindflödet är en viktig faktor i skapandet av bra förhållanden för fotgängare i en stad. Byggnadernas geometri, speciellt vad gäller höga byggnader, och deras inbördes placering har en påtaglig effekt på de vindförhållanden som fotgängare upplever på marknivå. Vind är ett mycket komplext fenomen och vindanalys kräver sofistikerade matematiska modeller och högprestandaberäkningar. Som…
