A Future Scenarios Based Computational Framework for Campus Planning

The future scenarios are described mainly for the purpose of demonstrating the formal development of campus and are not necessarily an accurate representation of the result of the driving forces. Forecasted futures are different from actual present results. The comparison between them is a critical factor for establishing the next scenario. This judgment is made by the stakeholders of campus development, which may be open to interpretation. In return, it encourages more stakeholder participation and input for defining the parameters and constraints of future campus development. The scope of our proposed framework is still limited by the set of available patterns or design rules which have been extracted from the case studies of 12 universities in the US. The design of the proposed framework considers the scalability of patterns or design rules as observed in other case studies. Its scalability is based on the extensive usage of the driving forces in other cases. The enhancement of the framework is being made on its front end with improving and updating its image library to more compatible abstract programming in-terface (API) with HTML5, SVG, or WebGL.
