- A people-centred approach for designing large-scale built-up spaces necessitates systematic anticipation of user’s embodied visuo-locomotive experience from the viewpoint of human-environment interaction factors pertaining to aspects such as navigation, wayfinding, usability. In this context, we develop a behaviour-based visuo-locomotive complexity model that functions as a key correlate of cognitive performance vis-a-vis internal navigation in built-up spaces. We also demonstrate the model’s implementation and application as a parametric tool for the identification and manipulation of the architectural morphology along a navigation path as per the parameters of the proposed visuospatial complexity model. We present examples based on an empirical study in two healthcare buildings and showcase the manner in which a dynamic and interactive parametric (complexity) model can promote behaviour-based decision-making throughout the design process to maintain desired levels of visuospatial complexity as part of a navigation or wayfinding experience.

- Design is one of the most complex of human endeavors requiring an enormous number of often conflicting criteria to be contemplated when identifying optimal solutions. Design is constrained by guidelines, codes, and standards applicable to the specific cultural and locational context that the design will be sited. Furthermore, a design has to be created within a collaborative team consisting of many professionals focused on specific subsystems and expert preferences that provide unique functionality to the overall design. The increasing use and capability of software tools involved in the creation and processing of such spatial information has also led to elevated levels of complexity that spurred a need to structure, query and reason about multiple spatial representations of buildings and their components in new ways.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The articulation of the Science of Design by Herbert Simon and the paradigmatic relevance of Artificial Intelligence in that context are closely intertwined topics: Simon elaborates the ‘Sciences of the Artificial’ in the context of the design of artefacts. Situated in this AI-centric view of design, we characterize “spatial computing for design” as a specialisation concerned with the development of the general representational and computational apparatus necessary for solving modelling and reasoning problems in spatial design. Several representation and reasoning problems are dis-cussed in the backdrop of relevant examples involving the formal modelling of structural form with respect to a desired/anticipated artefactual function. The discussion, although applicable to any spatial design activity, is grounded in the domain of assistive decision-support in the context of a conventional computer-aided architecture design workflow.

Spatial knowledge update in rotational locomotion : On the role of visuo-spatial cues and familiarity: A case-study at the Bremen train-station
- 2018
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Spatial knowledge updating is the ability to keep track of one’s position and orientation while moving with respect to the locations such as the starting point. In everyday navigation tasks that involve rotational locomotion, spatial updating frequently fails as a result of the alignment effect, referring to human’s inability to coordinate various spatial representations and reference frames, and human’s tendency to ignore proprioceptive, visual and auditory cues, as a result of changes in perspective, scale, or orientation.In our empirical study conducted in a large-scale built-up environment, the railway station in Bremen, we investigate if and how rotational locomotion affects the navigation performance in a naturalist every-day task of departure and arrival. The experimental group performs an ego-turn of 360◦ as part of the route while they are able to use all the proprioceptive, visual and auditory cues available to initiate a corresponding counter-rotation of the world. The control group performs the same task without rotational locomotion. Participants were categorised according to the level of familiarity with the environment. We use a multi-modal approach (e.g. orientation task, eye-tracking, questionnaires, videos) to investigate user’s spatial behaviour, focusing on the disorientation effect, and the visuo-spatial features they use for reorientation.Primary results confirm previous studies suggested that spatial updating is not automatic, it is affected by rotational locomotion and it depends on the level of familiarity of users with the environment. Familiar users tend to proceed an instantaneous spatial updating using different visuo-spatial features than unfamiliar users. Individual differences (gender, mental rotation abilities) are excluded in this study but they are considered significant as a next step. We conclude that people are affected differently by the rotational locomotion, they follow various strategies for reorientation, and so the environment should provide a range of visuo-spatial information to address the user groups.

Towards People-Centred Precedents for Parametric Design : The Case of Wayfinding in Large Scale Buildings
- 2017

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Large-scale public buildings need to ensure an effective wayfinding performance for different user groups. Recent precedent based design approaches take spatial cognition into account by analysing the visuo-locomotive experience of users with the aim to interpret their behaviour and integrate it into a people-centred design. The paper focuses on the process from the analysis of precedents and the visuo-locomotive experience to the definition of design constraints that can be embedded into a parametric design for wayfinding. Primarily, we pursue a qualitative analysis of the visuo-locomotive experience of wayfinders in a healthcare built environment, with the use of cognitive-assistive and immersive/ virtual reality technologies. The outcome, presented through immersive reality, is correlated with the morphological analysis of the space and leads to precedents evaluation about design for wayfinding and the definition of new design constraints. The process is approached through an example, the environmental aspect of visual range. We conclude that this practice can overcome some of the experience based design practices of today but is not yet ingrained in the architectural and engineering design processes of public buildings.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Whilst home healthcare services for an aging population currently living in ordinary housing are increasingly needed, physical environments do not adequately meet current levels of demand for such services. The present study protocol, which combines qualitative and quantitative methods, was developed in order to explore the impact of architectural design on enablers and barriers in the delivery of home healthcare services. An interdisciplinary research team, drawn from the fields of architecture, healthcare, and occupational sciences, will execute the forthcoming study. This study protocol describes the design of that study, which will explore the relation between residential design and the conditions for care in ordinary housing.
