Abstract
Infill development has been seen as one of the solutions
to urban challenges. However, it changes the dynamics and
visual appearance of the neighborhood. As infill
development usually requires the acceptance of local
stakeholders, their perceptions of the resulting
intensified housing have a significant role. In this
study, customized visualizations illustrating scenarios
of infill development were made from the perspective of
individual apartments in neighboring residential
building. The usefulness of customized visualizations for
local stakeholders was studied in the Tammela test area.
A 3D virtual model of the existing environment was
created. Models depicting the alternative infill
buildings were added to the 3D model, which was used to
create customized visualizations. These visualizations
were utilized in the interviews of local stakeholders.
The findings indicate that the customized visualizations
help stakeholders conceptualize the impact, and plan and
manage the infill development. Visualizations can also be
seen as a tool for a resident-driven approach to
intensifying housing.
