    EUROGRAPHICS 2014 / B. Lévy and J. Kautz Volume 33 (2014), Number 2 (Guest Editors) Game Level Layout from Design Specification Chongyang Ma∗z Nicholas Vining∗ Sylvain Lefebvrey Alla Sheffer∗ ∗ University of British Columbia y ALICE/INRIA z University of Southern California Abstract The design of video game environments, or levels, aims to control gameplay by steering the player through a sequence of designer-controlled steps, while simultaneously providing a visually engaging experience. Traditionally these levels are painstakingly designed by hand, often from pre-existing building blocks, or space templates. In this paper, we propose an algorithmic approach for automatically laying out game levels from user-specified blocks. Our method allows designers to retain control of the gameplay flow via user-specified level connectivity graphs, while relieving them from the tedious task of manually assembling the building blocks into a valid, plausible layout. Our method produces sequences of diverse layouts for the same input connectivity, allowing for repeated replay of a given level within a visually different, new environment. We support complex graph connectivities and various building block shapes, and are able to compute complex layouts in seconds. The two key components of our algorithm are the use of configuration spaces defining feasible relative positions of building blocks within a layout and a graph-decomposition based layout strategy that leverages graph connectivity to speed up convergence and avoid local minima. Together these two tools quickly steer the solution toward feasible layouts. We demonstrate our method on a variety of real-life inputs, and generate appealing layouts conforming to user specifications.

ISBN 1-85312-917-8 Sustainable urban design paradigm: twenty five simple things to do to make an urban neighborhood sustainable B. A. Kazimee School of Architecture and Construction Management, Washington State University, USA. Abstract Sustainable design celebrates and creates the ability of communities and wider urban systems to minimize their impact on the environment, in an effort to create places that endure, Central to this paradigm is an ecological approach that take into consideration not only the nature but human element as well, locally and globally. The paper presents twenty five design strategies and explores processes that point to a rediscovery of the art and science of designing sustainable neighborhoods. It seeks to synthesize these principles into an agenda for the design of towns and cities with the intention of reversing many of the ills and destructive tendencies of past practices. These strategies serve as indicators to sustainable developmen~ they are used to define inherent qualities, carrying capacities and required ecological footprints to illustrate the place of exemplary communities. Furthermore, they are established to allow designers to model, measure and program sustainable standards as well as monitor the regenerative process of cities. The guidelines are organized under five primary variables for achieving sustainability: human ecology, energy conservation, land and resource conservation (food and fiber,) air and water quality. These variables are presented as highly interactive cycles and are based upon the theory and principles/processes of place making, affordability and sustainability.

    Meaningful Urban Design: Teleological/Catalytic/Relevant

    Journal ofUrban Design,Vol. 7, No. 1, 35– 58, 2002 Meaningful Urban Design: Teleological/Catalytic/Relevant ASEEM INAM ABSTRACT Thepaper begins with a critique ofcontemporary urban design:the eldof urban designis vague because it isan ambiguousamalgam of several disciplines, includingarchitecture, landscapearchitecture, urban planningand civil engineering; it issuper cial because itisobsessedwith impressions and aesthetics ofphysical form; and it ispractised as an extensionof architecture, whichoften impliesan exaggerated emphasison theend product. The paper then proposesa meaningful(i.e. truly consequential to improvedquality of life) approach to urban design,which consists of: beingteleological (i.e. driven by purposes rather than de ned by conventional disci- plines);being catalytic (i.e. generating or contributing to long-term socio-economic developmentprocesses); andbeing relevant (i.e. grounded in rst causes andpertinent humanvalues). The argument isillustratedwith a number ofcase studiesof exemplary urban designers,such asMichael Pyatok and Henri Ciriani,and urban designprojects, such asHorton Plazaand Aranya Nagar, from around the world. The paper concludes withan outlineof future directionsin urban design,including criteria for successful urban designprojects (e.g. striking aesthetics, convenient function andlong-term impact) anda proposedpedagogical approach (e.g. interdisciplinary, in-depth and problem-driven). Provocations In the earlypart of 1998,two provocative urban design eventsoccurred at the Universityof Michigan in Ann Arbor.The rstwas an exhibition organizedas partof aninternationalsymposium on ‘ City,Space 1 Globalization’. The second wasa lecture by the renowned Dutch architectand urbanist, Rem Koolhaas. By themselves,the events generated much interestand discussion, yet were innocu- ous,compared to, say, Prince Charles’s controversialcomments on contempor- arycities in the UKorthe gathering momentumof the New Urbanism movementin the USA.

    Civil engineer vs Architect- Differents in Job, Salary If you are a civil engineer or an architectural engineer then I think I need not describe about Civil engineer vs Architect to you. Right?. You should already have some knowledge about them. Don’t you? Not to worry even you don’t know, I am here to explain it to you. But, if you are choosing to be graduate among civil engineering and architectural engineering, then you are at the right place to know “Civil engineer vs Architect” In any construction work or creation of structure like a bridge, building, airport, etc there require good knowledge and understanding of civil and architecture engineers. The skill of both professions is most required for the aesthetic and stable structure to be made. If the structure is attractive in look but not safe for landing or using, then there is no point in constructing a structure or if the structure is safe but not well manage for efficient work then also there is no point in constructing the structure. So, in short, you can understand the work of an architectural engineer is to manage and give an aesthetic look to the structure and the work of a civil engineer is to analyze and make a safe structure. However, there are some considerable differences between Civil engineer vs Architect. Let us discuss this. Civil engineer vs Architect S.N Architecture Engineer Civil Engineer Architecture engineers initialize the construction through their design.
