Design communication is critical for the interaction between digital design models and human cognitive capacities in architectural design. Virtual environments, particularly mixed reality (MR) technologies, can improve spatial cognition, improve the space and effectiveness of space conflicts and support design collaboration [1]. The focus of this study is design processes that incorporate building performance simulations and visualize results to inform the designers of daylighting performance. We present an MR design environment that supports architectural design integrated with design simulations. This environment seamlessly integrates Building information modelling (BIM) and building energy simulation tools with the proposed MR environment. The environment aims for improved efficiency in design processes that support the designer in context-aware and well-informed decision-making for sustainable building design. The evaluation of the environment was carried out through a 2.5-day design workshop. The results indicate that simulation results' visualization in mixed-reality has the potential to provide insight into one's design towards better-informed decision making in architecture.

The influence of digital technologies on the interaction of design and manufacturing processes Çıngı, Güney; Ünay, Ali İhsan; Department of Architecture (2006) This study aims to analyze and evaluate the influence of digital technologies on the inter-action of design and manufacturing processes by representing an outlook of digital tech-nologies through developments in modeling capabilities, manufacturing techniques, mate-rial science, and design strategies. The digital era reached by the technological developments in different fields of sci-ence influenced the field of architecture, just like the others. Thus, a new kind of spa-tial and tectonic quality in archit...
An inquiry into the ontology of responsiveness: assessing embodiment and human-machine interaction in responsive environments Uçar Kırmızıgül, Başak; Mennan, Zeynep; Department of Architecture (2011) Advances in communication and information technologies, as well as recent developments in computer technology, material research and sensor networks instigate the studies on active and dynamic environments, which call for the participation of the human and the machine in the definition of responsiveness in architecture. The thesis aims to provide for an ontological inquiry on responsiveness and responsive environments by undertaking an overview of the extensive interest in the responsive experience in archi...
An assessment of the architectural representation process within the computational design environment Uçar, Başak; Mennan, Zeynep; Department of Architecture (2006) With the introduction of a computational design environment, architectural design and representation processes witness a radical transition from the analog to the digital medium, that may be asserted to initiate a paradigm shift affecting both. In this new design environment, extending the instrumentality of computer-aided processes to the generative use of computational tools and procedures, architectural design and representation processes are subject to mutual alterations, challenged with computational d...
An immersive performative architectural design tool with daylighting simulations: a building information modeling-based approach Akin, Sahin; Ergun, Oguzcan; Sürer, Elif; Gürsel Dino, İpek (Emerald, 2020-11-01) Purpose In performative architectural design, daylighting is a crucial design consideration; however, the evaluation of daylighting in the design process can be challenging. Immersive environments (IEs) can create a dynamic, multi-sensory, first-person view in computer-generated environments, and can improve designers' visual perception and awareness during performative design processes. This research addresses the need for interactive and integrated design tools for IEs toward better-performing architectur...
Designing for Multisensorial Interactive Product Experiences Şener Pedgley, Bahar (2015-09-04) This paper presents a methodology and case study of designing for multi sensorial interactive product experiences, within the context of postgraduate degree level Industrial Design education. Building on literature spanning product and interaction semantics, and multimodal product experiences, the paper establishes a stepped approach to integrate up to six different sensory modalities (sight, touch, presence, sound, smell, taste) into a user-product interaction scenario. A product design project (bedside al...
