The research area includes selected European cities of a diverse urban structures and cityscape types. The cities also represent various strategies for the development of tall buildings. The article...
The article presents a methodology for the assessment of the impact of new buildings on the cultural landscape, in particular the exposure of historical landmarks. While using digital analysis and a 3D city model, the methodology examines reciprocal visual relations between historical and planned buildings. The following methods have been used: a)...
The article presents the assessment method for large (horizontally spread) urban investment and its visual impact on the cityscape using digital analyses. The visual impact assessment is often used in relation to facilities which dominate in the cityscape, mainly tall buildings. Various studies, however, examine the impact of wide but relatively lo...
The research focuses on the visual impact of tall buildings on the city interior space (i.e. streets, squares, undeveloped land, parks, lawns, palace gardens). These are areas where we can experience tall buildings every day. The study searches for relations between tall buildings and their surrounding development that enhance the value of the latt...
The paper introduces a method of computational analysis of cityscape called Weighted Visual Exposure Map (WVEM). The method aims at supporting the process of examining attractive vistas in a city. The value of a vista is calculated for each point of the city. The assessment depends on the visibility of selected landmarks that are the most important...
The article presents selected examples of the spatial deformation of iconic vistas in European cities, deformations which were caused by poorly planned development of tall buildings. Comments included summarise field studies of 2013-2016 under the research project of 2TaLL: Application of 3D Virtual City Models in Urban Analyses of Tall Buildings....
The article analyses trends in developing tall buildings in Europe. It includes a brief historical overview of tall buildings from its early days until today, including changes in their forms and functions as dominants. The period of 1968 to 2018 has been described in greater detail. The analysis of changes in erecting tall buildings in Europe is b...
Tall buildings can cause a number of accidental interactions with historical buildings in important and strategic vistas. The effect is difficult to predict by intuition. The goal of the study discussed in the article is to present the possibility of use the Visual Impact Size (VIS) method for analysing the visual impact of a tall building on citys...
The article presents a methodology applied for the assessment of the tall building visual impact on the city scape, using digital tools. The method has been used by the author in the planning practice in several cities in Poland. It enables to determine not only the visibility range of a planned tall building in the city spaces, but also the extent...
Research presented in the article was designed to assess the possibility of using the Visual Impact Size (VIS) method as a tool supporting decision making on protecting park interiors and their landscapes against accidental visual impact of tall buildings. The study enables assessing the efficiency of the VIS method while examining the impact of ta...
ABSTRACT The article pres ents digital analysis techniques for the cityscape and structure of the city to examine multifac-eted impact of tall buildings. Methods presented enable analysing visual impact (VIS), planning of protection for strategic vistas (VPS) and examining of impact on public space (several methods, including Negative-3D). The rese...

The article discusses investigations referring to the analysis of the Sky Tower impact on the cityscape of Wrocław. They involved using a computer aided Visual Impact Size method (VIS) developed by a team led by the first of the authors of the article. The method provides for a geometrical examination of the scope and power of dominant visual impac...
The article introduces the Visual Impact Size (VIS), a method of computational analysis based on the 3D isovists theory to provide analysis of tall buildings impact on the cityscape. In many instances, negative consequences of an inappropriate location of a tall building especially in European cities result from inability to foresee its spatial imp...
The paper introduces a method of computational analysis of the city landscape called Visual Protection Surface (VPS). The method allows to explore geometrical relations between the scope of visual protection of the city and the maximum heights of new buildings. In contemporary town planning protection of urban landscape is a significant issue, espe...
The planned height of buildings is subject of discussions, conflicts and controversies, especially for historically composed cities in Europe. This trend is growing worldwide. Most of tall buildings in Europe were built in this century. In many instances the negative impact of tall buildings on the cityscape is the result of mistakes in the plannin...
The paper examines possibilities and limitations of application of Lidar data and digital 3D-city models to provide specialist urban analyses of tall buildings. The location and height of tall buildings is a subject of discussions, conflicts and controversies in many cities. The most important aspect is the visual influence of tall buildings to the...
In contemporary town planning protection of urban landscape is a significant issue. It regards especially those cities, where urban structures are the result of ages of evolution and layering of historical development process. Specific panoramas and other strategic views with historic city dominants can be an important part of the cultural heritage...
Tall buildings has become in recent decades an actual problem for many rapidly growing cities in Europe. Due to the cultural heritage and centuries-old history, there is a need to preserve and harmoniously develop their landscapes. In order to avoid negative interac-tions with valuable architectural complexes, the location of new high buildings in...
Virtual 3D city models and digital analytical techniques may significantly facilitate the process of studying a city structure. They enable imaging and conducting of advanced analysis of city skyline. They can be applied to tall buildings phenomenon which became one of the most important challenges for contemporary European cities. On the one hand,...
In recent years, tall buildings have become an important part of landscapes in many European cities. The trend becomes increasingly common and tall buildings are developed in previously low rising historical towns. One of them is Milano where in recent years the number of new high rising buildings has been steadily growing. The article discusses sp...
The complex geometry of the city structure and the increasing speed of ongoing urban transformations in large European cities, requires powerful tools for the analysis, design and management.
