3D GIS - Using ESRI 3D Analyst & ESRI ArcScene for Visualization
The document outlines a conceptual design for a Small Cities Block Grant (SCBG) project utilizing ESRI ArcScene and other tools for 3D visualization and analysis, focusing on terrain data and animation techniques. It discusses site constraints, assets, proposed revitalization phases, and recommendations for maintenance and promotion. The project aims to create a cultural hub while addressing the community's needs and historical context.

- 31. Search for aConcept: “Why?” • We must look for a solution that goes beyond solving the City’s short-term needs. • Design in the public realm must attempt to inspire civic pride and facilitate cultural expression Oct-03
- 32. Search for aConcept: “How and What?” • Given the restraints, we propose a concept that creates a “theatre” and insulates it from the dilapidated surroundings, revitalization of which is beyond the scope of this project • Final design easy-to-maintain and handicap-accessible Oct-03
