MONITORING SOFTWAREUSE MODERN TECHNIQUES AND TOOLS TO MONITOR THIS SLOWBUT COMPLICATED TRANSFORMATION.If we are to gradually develop a complex site like Koege <strong>Kyst</strong>, we needto take a new approach to design. The urban designer has to balance hisown organising in<strong>fl</strong>u<strong>en</strong>ce with the <strong>fl</strong>exibility of differ<strong>en</strong>t stakeholders andthe unpredictability of time. Urban planning based on continuous insightis about direct and operative short-term interv<strong>en</strong>tions without losing the‘bigger goals’ out of sight. Slow town planning based on the local doesn’tmean we should not use the most modern and innovative techniques tomonitor our process.It is possible to develop specific software for the Koege <strong>Kyst</strong> developm<strong>en</strong>t,to handle the complicated aspects which are to be found in a 25 year process.Software which helps fast-forwarding time to give an insight into uncertainfutures based on short- and long term, certain and uncertain urbanconditions. This software could make it possible to formulate reliable shortterm decisions based on variable preconditions to investigate differ<strong>en</strong>tgrowth and developm<strong>en</strong>t sc<strong>en</strong>arios. Differ<strong>en</strong>t parameters are being handledlike lease contracts of companies, ownership, constraints, view-lines, phasing,profit and type of program, investm<strong>en</strong>t in infrastructure, sustainabilityambitions and soil conditions.For another project we developed ‘parcellation software’ together with theSwiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH); we could easily makea Koege <strong>Kyst</strong> specific software. The software makes it possible to simultaneousprocess data whose complexities would normally make excessivedemands on the designer. We leave these to the capacity of the computer,as changes can easily be made by readjusting certain parameters withouthaving to rearrange the whole design. Furthermore, spatial, programmaticand economic parameters and their effects become more transpar<strong>en</strong>t forplanners, owners and municipalities, and can be adjusted during the processto meet new demands. The software helps us to monitor the processeffici<strong>en</strong>tly.It is important to understand that the solutions the software g<strong>en</strong>erates ar<strong>en</strong>ot ready-made urban designs. The computer does not replace a creativeprocess, but organises complex interdep<strong>en</strong>d<strong>en</strong>cies that can help to developand test sc<strong>en</strong>arios which cannot be made manually, or would requireconsiderable investm<strong>en</strong>ts of time. In this design, software is used to servegoals of accuracy and reliability in the pres<strong>en</strong>t, still preserving <strong>fl</strong>exibility forthe future. It helps us to combine the necessary top-down planning issueswith bottom-up initiatives and uncertainties, creating a new non-hierarchicaldesign approach, without replacing the creative process of designing.30
