Visualizing and Parameterizing the Urban Landscape Graguate thesis (2018) This model presents the 3d visualization for the LANDSCAPE, STREETS, and BUILDINGS by using CityEngine. In the interface of CityEngine, we can rapidly adjust the parameters of urban landscape and zoning code, such as street width, floor area ratio, building coverage ratio, setback distance and other regulations, and then the model will immediately show the different 3d scenes.
In CityEngine, it is the Computer generate architecture(CGA) rule to create a dynamic city layout and customize different parameters of city environment . Therefore, we can build up a city within hours.
CityEngine is a procedural modeling tool which can visualize a large scale landscape through the parameterizing and programming process. It is a useful and professional tool for the field of urban planning and urban design.

Analyzing and Simulating the Building Volume
(Course work,2018)
The aim of this project is to visualize the outcome of zoning code and find out difference between existing buildng volume and the predicted one. It starts with tracing back the history of Hu-Wei-Liao area and studying the zoning regulations, and then uses CityEngine and ArcGIS to visualize the 3d outcome of future urban landscape. This project reveals the key factor which significantly influence the building volume, and explores different way to simulate the outcome of zoning code.

A Research of Predicting Building Types
The aim of this research is to find out the relationship between urban planning condition and building types. There are four stages in here, including exploring the indicators represented planning condition, deciding the way building classified, applying KNN algorithm to find out the relationship, and verifing it.
