Arizona State University’s three-dimentional data visualizing Decision Theater could provide a look into the future development of Carlsbadistan. According to the East Valley Tribune, when Carlsbad City Manager Ray Patchett saw ASU’s Decision Theater’s electronic model of downtown Tempe, Arizona he wanted to bring it home with him.
After flying through proposed developments at ASU, the traditional planning process seemed archaic. “It really gives you a way to get beyond just the one-dimensional piece of paper,” he said.
As the City of Carlsbad revises its development standards, Patchett thinks the Decision Theater technology will help visualize how different building heights and road widths might impact our city. Legoland has a 3-D theater and has reportedly given Patchett the go ahead to use it.
Hey, anything that will help City Planners find a vision for the Carlsbad’s future is great by us. So please bring it on. (Click here for a video tour of the Decision Theater.)
