UAS, or drones, can be deployed with direct application to the built environment. This book explores the myriad of contemporary and future possibilities of the design medium, its aesthetic, mapping agency, AI, mobility, and contribution to smart cities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrones present innovative possibilities, operating in a ‘hover space’ between human scales of landscape observation and light aircraft, providing a unique resolution of space. This book shows how UAS can be utilised to provide new perspectives on spatial layout, landscape and urban conditions, data capture for construction monitoring, and simulation of design proposals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor Paul Cureton examines both the philosophical use of these tools and practical steps for implementation by designers. Illustrated in full colour throughout, \u003cem\u003eDrone Futures\u003c\/em\u003e discusses UAS and their connectivity to other design technologies and processes, including mapping and photogrammetry, AR\/VR, drone AI and drones for construction and fabrication, new mobilities, smart cities, and city information models (CIMs). It is specifically geared towards professionals seeking to understand UAS applications and future development, and students seeking an understanding of the role of drones and airspace in the built environment and its powerful geographic imaginary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith international contributions, multidisciplinary sources, and case studies, \u003cem\u003eDrone Futures\u003c\/em\u003e examines new powers of flight for visualising, interpreting, and presenting landscapes and urban spaces of tomorrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605610119404,"sku":"9780815380511","price":79.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780815380511-drone-futures.jpg?v=1778135440"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/paul-cureton.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
