VISUAL SUPPORT FOR ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

This project will develop methods to support and evaluate design and construction processes in an architectural context. We will achieve this by incorporating eye-tracking methodology combined with visualisation and human-computer interaction techniques. This combination will help to investigate such processes from a perceptual and cognitive perspective, providing insights into how people work with new visual interfaces and how they perceive virtual and real-world architecture. New techniques will be developed to handle spatio-temporal data in such a context, with post-experimental evaluation as well as live processing with gaze-based interaction techniques. In particular, we will focus on the analysis and support of collaborative procedures (e.g. gigamapping) and design parameter space exploration. Both scenarios present new challenges for analysis in social and desktop-based situations. We will then extend our research to scenarios in spatial contexts, i.e. movement through real, virtual and augmented buildings. Finally, our research will be extended to scenarios in fabrication and construction environments where, in addition to evaluation procedures, the development of gaze-based human-machine interaction techniques promises new ways to support work routines.
