Abstract

The research focuses on the relationship between urban form and digital tools for the analysis and transformation of the city. Digital models of urban space are used to connect many layers of information, characterized by different disciplinary scopes, representation scales, and acquisition and processing methods. The thesis investigates the abstractions of physical space that make these city models measurable and suitable for sharing data. The work develops and verifies the hypotheses emerging at the intersection of three main themes: (1) spatial models of cities as “operating systems”; (2) digital tools and the role of abstraction in models; (3) city form as a tool for interpretation.
