Vaughan Hart, Alan Day and Joe Robson

This short paper computer aided design software (CAD) is used to model London's vent Garden in its original form. This model illustrates the piazza's relationship to Renaissance ideal city, and the potential of CAD to urban planners in their attempts visualise proposed reconstructions of destroyed parts of cities.
