Synopsis of “Narrative Models: A Database Approach to Modeling Medieval Cairo“- 200 words


There are so many ways of visualizing the concept of design. Using modeling software as a tool becomes more feasible nowadays. The computer software is very useful for the designers to engage in visualizing their imagination and ideas. This approach provides a flexible framework for organizing simulations. Furthermore, abstraction is an important factor for us to visualizing our imagination. Treating the model as abstractions requires both our ability to tame our desire for complete reliability and our consistency with the intended level of abstraction. Therefore, in order for modeling to be successful for imaginative visualization, the model must be treated as abstraction. The article suggested that we should modify our approach towards designing the walk-through. Instead of creating the model of imagination, we should perceive two kinds of views for the visualization: the view essential for representing the transformation of the design and the view necessary for exploring the environment in the interactive walk-through mode. Thus, if we are trying to visualizing our imagination, we need to think in terms of the process of transformation and construction, and the vision of the pedestrian movement and street pattern.
