Immediate Systems in Architectural Research and Praxis

Immediate Systems are defined as systems that overcome the limitations of remote design by embedding design and implementation in situations of use. This paper extends the theoretical framing of IS and traces three approaches towards IS in architecture: as adhocist mode of action, as acceleration of design transfer and as human-architecture...

Immediate Systems Human-In-The-Loop Cyber-Physical Systems that Embed Design and Implementation in Situations of Use

Design activity, especially in architectural praxis, takes place in spatialand temporal remoteness from the use of its outputs. Thisremoteness impedes the ability to respond to actual needs that arise in situations of use. Ultimately itmakes design dependent on hypothesis.Aim of this essayis to introduce the notion of Immediate...

Augmented worlds, the adoption of Augmented Reality in the design process: A review of the effects of using an AR co-design environment on team interaction

This research analysed the effects of using an AR co-design environment as a supportive tool during design meetings, on the interaction within a project team.<br/>Lacking interaction is a problem that occurs project wide in the construction industry and can cause diverse effects, leading to mistakes and rework. This lack often originates in the...

The Augmented Design Process: Research into the integration of VR and AR into the architectural design process

Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality have the potential to enhance the capabilities of the architect. This thesis explores the implications of the integration of these technologies intothe architectural design process. It provides a theoretical framework by discussing what VR &amp; AR would mean to the architect’s workflow, and to his workspace...
