"In Uruguay, we are used to going against the odds."
In this episode, we welcome Hilario Canessa, the visionary Founder of Studio4D to Los Angeles. Canessa brings us with him into the world of digital twins for urban planning, a concept that merges cutting-edge video game technology with the complexities of city development.
He shares how his company uses immersive environments to simulate future urban landscapes, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions. By providing unmatched accessibility to the designs, in an intuitive, hyper-realistic video-game-like experience, Studio 4D allows a broad range of personas (inspectors and contractors to city planners and real estate developers) to easily understand complex aspects of urban planning like the resultant shadows throughout the day or even the type of vegetation that will be incorporated into the project.
Canessa's unique journey from an architecture student in Uruguay to pioneering the use of video game technology for urban planning reveals the innovative intersections between gaming, architecture, and urban development. His insights into the challenges and opportunities of virtual reality and the potential future of digital urban planning make this episode of Founders In LA a must-listen for tech enthusiasts and urban planners alike.
