A day in a shadow of high-rise : 3D parameterization and use of public space around pżm / hotel radisson building complex in center of Szczecin

The paper is related to issues of application of advanced computer techniques applied to analyses of public space use in urban areas. The particular interest is directed towards 3D city models and possibilities of urban analysis of street life using such environment. It is also focused on public spaces located nearby tall buildings in key areas of city centers. The article presents a daily analysis of street life beneath one of several tall buildings in city center of Szczecin, Poland. Further on, it presents possibilities and process of parameterization using computer techniques, both 2D and 3D. The sample results focus on patterns of use and their relation to urban environment of public space it occurs. The presented sample results are the opening of wider advanced research to be applied to more complex systems of public spaces.
