  • Typologies and Evaluation of Outdoor Public Spaces at Street Level of Tall Buildings in Chicago
    TYPOLOGIES AND EVALUATION OF OUTDOOR PUBLIC SPACES AT STREET LEVEL OF TALL BUILDINGS IN CHICAGO Abstract Authors Zahida Khan and Peng Du Outdoor public spaces are key to human interactions, promoting Illinois Institute of Technology public life in cities. The constant increase in world population has led Keywords to increased tall urban conditions making the study of outdoor public Public spaces, tall buildings, urban forms, rating system spaces around tall buildings very popular. This paper outlines typol- ogies for outdoor public spaces occurring at street level of tall build- ings in downtown Chicago, the birthplace of skyscrapers and an ideal case study for an American city. The study uses online data archives, Google Maps, and on-site surveys as research techniques for the analysis. The result depicts around 50% of all the tall buildings in Chicago foster public life at its street level through public spaces. The other key finding is the outline of seven typologies based on their position around the tall building. Further, a comparative analysis is conducted using one example of each typology based on three crite- ria adopted from ‘Project for Public Spaces,’ namely (1) Accessibility; (2) Design and Comfort, and (3) Users and Activities.

  • 0 Multi-Row Boundary-Labeling Algorithms for Panorama Images
    0 Multi-Row Boundary-Labeling Algorithms for Panorama Images Andreas Gemsa, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Jan-Henrik Haunert, University of Osnabruck¨ Martin Nollenburg¨ , Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Boundary labeling deals with placing annotations for objects in an image on the boundary of that image. This problem occurs frequently in situations where placing labels directly in the image is impossible or produces too much visual clutter. Examples are annotating maps, photos, or technical/medical illustrations. Previous algorithmic results for boundary labeling consider a single layer of labels along some or all sides of a rectangular image. If, however, the number of labels is large or the labels are too long, multiple layers of labels are needed. In this paper we study boundary labeling for panorama images, where n points in a rectangle R are to be annotated by disjoint unit-height rectangular labels placed above R in K different rows (or layers). Each point is connected to its label by a vertical leader that does not intersect any other label. We present polynomial time algorithms based on dynamic programming that either minimize the number of rows to place all n labels, or maximize the number (or total weight) of labels that can be placed in K rows for a given integer K. For weighted labels, the problem is shown to be (weakly) NP-hard, and we give a pseudo-polynomial algorithm to maximize the weight of the selected labels. We have implemented our algorithms; the experimental results show that solutions for realistically-sized instances are computed instantaneously. Further, we have also investigated two-sided panorama labeling, where the labels may be placed above or below the panorama image.
