GeoDesign, a GIS component that dates back to 1452, have become
the latest news of GIS in the 20th century. Through studying GeoDesign,
GIS has brought the idea of Ecology and Technology together in a way that we
can discover any “hidden patterns beneath [the] surface” of nature. Before GeoDesign,
abstraction of the world has been present. Before this helpful tool that
connects design with geography, we could not understand the multi-surfaces of
the world so easily. Now with Geodesign present, we can comprehend the
geographical aspects of the world with less difficulty.
How GeoDesign works is it brings ‘geospatial computing
capacity into the process of design,” meaning it enables the creative thoughts
of designers in order to translate geographic analysis into built forms using
geospatial data. Geodesign can be used to project something that could happen
in the near future by connecting different layers of the relevant problem
together and may project possible ways to change it. Geodesign has the power to
bring institutions together through shared visions, technology, and a shared
goal.
