A chapter in The Visual Language of Technique, 2015, pp 149-152 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The poster presents different uses of the visual language technique in urban studies research, by showing its potential in investigation and exploration, observation and interpretation, analysis and communication of small scale and large-scale urban context. Three PhD researches exemplify the different uses of photography and image processing, as a tool for working with perceptual aspects and environmental issues, in order to contribute to cross-reading the complex relationships between urban design and physical context. Recent urban studies tend to innovate, experiment and integrate more traditional methods of analysis, design and evaluation, in order to effectively communicate the results of urban changes, facilitating the confrontation between planners, policy makers, developers and citizens.
