Computational Approach for the Assessment of Transit Oriented Development Principles - A multivariate optimization method for urban planning

Proceedings of the 34th International Conference on Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe) [Volume 2]

In spite of being increasingly promoted in several cities of the world, TOD lacks an approach that addresses multivariate data for optimization of its principles. In this paper, we propose a methodology backed by an algorithmic-parametric CAD environment, applied to a neighborhood unit in a case study. The objective is the analysis and improvement of TOD relevant and measurable features (transit accessibility, walkability and diversity) in order to optimize neighborhoods&#39; features. The ultimate goal is to facilitate the management of solutions in TOD planning processes, supported by a principle-index-tool approach triad.

The Threshold of Rio De Janeiro’s Favelas

More specifically, the study applies space syntax segment angular analysis to shed new light on the role played within the city's network by the entrances of favelas. By examining and discussing the outcomes of previous syntactical, historical and ethnographical analysis of Rio de Janeiro, the paper finally argues that entrances work as thresholds, gates, that filter the movement and structurally define an inside-outside distinction between favelas and the planned city.
