Description:
|
Daylight has a profound impact on human life. Since the industrial revolution, people in western world have spent 90% indoors. Daylight as an important design factor has a great influence on architectural aesthetic expression, occupant health and well-being, as well as building energy consumption. In the last two decades, virtual reality greatly enhanced the user engagement in architecture design and opened a new door of the human-centered design method. This project focuses on conducting architecture daylight studies in immersive virtual environments, and aims to favor the needs of end-users (such as occupants). The results of this research are expected to enhance human factors in architectural design workflow. |
