The Brief:

The brief was to create a detailed map of the 410-ha property, showcasing existing and proposed features. This ‘vision’ map is intended to communicate the Neoslife concept to investors, collaborators, municipal bodies, and the general public.

Methodology:

Using RhinoLands and QGIS, a highly accurate 3D model was created remotely, utilizing precise topographic data from a LiDAR drone survey. This ensures that the model is highly representative of the real landform.

Note:

Some features are strategically placed based on sound reasoning. In contrast, others might be in sub-optimal positions due to the project’s tight two-week deadline, which was insufficient for comprehensive master planning of the 410-ha area. Additionally, some features are shown at an increased scale for better legibility.
