3rd International Symposium Visualisation for the Heritage of Asia-Pacific Architecture and Urbanism

Many places in the Asia-Pacific have experienced rapid development and urbanization in the past few decades. This has presented many opportunities and dilemmas in both urban and rural built environments. Meanwhile, this status quo forms a heteroglossia context for built environment heritage with an entangled collision as well as cohesion between the old and new, virtual and real, physical and intangible, community and individual, and so forth.

Architecture and urbanism are art for people and places. What is the role of information visualization in this? In terms of people, other than the ‘visual’ sense, multiple senses are involved in the experience of a space. Visualization plays an important part in forming a meaningful place, but the visual factors are interrelated with many other factors. They can be the memory of a place, the track of everyday life, or the imagination of a utopian place.

The diverse visualization approaches and technologies pose many interesting research questions. What is the role of visualization in the heritage, and what does this mean for the past, present, and future? The answers may lie along the following paths: a visualization-based investigation for exploring the history of the places, emerging technology and new approaches for heritage visualization, architectural interaction with people, and an inquiry of what visualization means for people and the built environment in different periods. As Nicholas Temple notes, ‘role perspective as a redemptive view of order, whose appropriation of reality (into paradigmatic forms or representation) continues to influence how architects perceive and define space’.
