gEOSPATIAL DATA ANALYSIS & SYSTEMS PROPOSAL

This project calls for a holistic development framework that addresses the pressing need for a more efficient and ecologically healthy pattern of growth within the peripheral areas of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Utilizing the landscape, capitalizing on topographic change, and passively harvesting environmental resources are intentions that can direct future land-use planning and development of the city. Deliberate, strategic preconditions for any new projects are essential.

Hydroflow, solar potential, and slope analysis completed in ArcGIS, 3D modeling, digital drafting, and After Effects project video animation generated.
