Expressive design visualization is critical for the architectural designers`designers`visual perception of 3D architectural models. Virtual environments, especially mixed reality (MR), have the potential to enhance designers' design perception and spatial understanding. In performance-based design, building simulations and quantitative analysis of performance predictions are integral to the design process. Specifically, daylighting simulation is considered as a crucial operation through the design development and remains a complex topic to be understood. However, daylighting simulations can be understood more effectively visually rather than numerically. The gap between quantitative analysis and design can be bridged by 3D geometry visualization through immersive technologies. The focus of this study is to present an MR visualization tool integrated with daylighting simulations that aims to improve performance-based architectural design processes. The tool intends to overcome the current problems in the existing architectural visualization methods by facilitating the visualization of the building geometry, the information on building components (building information model data) by simulation results. The tool was evaluated through its use by architecture students during a 2,5-day design workshop. In this paper, an MR based architectural tool is presented and its performance on architects`architects`design perception and model interaction is examined. The results indicate that the tool can support effective visualizations that can enhance designers' understanding of complex daylighting simulations with improved visual perception. The user evaluation of the tool regarding usability and presence was presented in our previous studies (Akin et al., 2018; Ergün et al., 2019).

Analysis of the limits of representation of architectural photographic images in periodicals
Bakht, Nazlı; Güzer, Celal Abdi; Department of Architecture (2007)
This study aims to analyze the limits of representation of architectural photographic images in periodicals within architectural media that shape today’s architectural production. This aim is accomplished in three sections; “examining the power of image in architecture”; “examining architectural media” and “examining the periodicals’ attitudes towards using architectural photography”. A case study is done to uncover the relationship between the photograph and the medium that it takes place on and determine ...
Creative Design Exploration By Parametric Generative Systems In Architecture
Gürsel Dino, İpek (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2012-01-01)
This paper discusses parametric design systems as a generative tool in architectural design. Parametric tools are algorithmically based, and therefore offer increased computational control over design geometry during design activity. Their adaptability and responsiveness to changing design criteria and requirements make parametric models especially useful for design exploration in complex and dynamic design settings. In performance based design, parametric control of form is particularly valuable, such that...
Building structure design as an integral part of architecture: A teaching model for students of architecture
Uenay, Ali Ihsan; Oezmen, Cengiz (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-09-01)
This paper explores the place of structural design within undergraduate architectural education. The role and format of lecture-based structure courses within an education system, organized around the architectural design studio is discussed with its most prominent problems and proposed solutions. The fundamental concept of the current teaching model in the Middle East Technical University (Ankara, Turkey) is quite appropriate for the education of future architects. If we consider that the main occupation o...
Computational Design Tools and Education: The Smartgeometry Case
Acıcan, Öykü; Gürsel Dino, İpek (2019-07-09)
Computational design has brought in novel concepts to architecture and design disciplines. Computational design thinking has evolved due to the potentials of contemporary tools and methods. Experiential learning environments such as computational design workshops offer strategies for a better understanding of the contemporary needs of the computational design education. Smartgeometry (SG) is a computational design organization that operates through workshops of interdisciplinary teams. SG uses and teaches t...
Layered simulation architecture: A practical approach
Topcu, Okan; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S. (2013-03-01)
This article presents a practical approach to the design of federate architectures for the simulation developers by applying a well-known architectural style, layered architecture, from a developer's perspective. Adopting layered architecture for an HLA-based simulation (i.e. a federate) provides a clear separation to the following concerns; the user interface (where the user can be a human or an external system such as a GIS server), the simulation logic, and the HLA-specific communication. Thus, layered s...
