1. Scale Modelling in Architectural Design B. de Vries

2. Architectural Design Traditional Design Process Representation Media

3. Traditional Design Process Client Brief: stated list of requirements of the design in terms of spaces, costs, time, parties, mandates, etc. Schematic Design: sketch design showing principal solution of the design Preliminary Design: worked-out drawings that show most design decisions Engineering Design: calculations on materials and installations regarding safety, well being, etc. Contract Documents: Drawings and text for putting out to tender

16. Scale Modeling Emphasis on sketch phase: mass studies Hand crafted, artistic-like sculpturing Abstraction of architectural form

17. Scale Model Evaluation Relative dimensions Lighting, Shading Form esthetics: (a)symmetry, repetition, intrusion View impression Form fits Function Color, Material impression

18. Interface Technology Aspects Interaction: interactive manipulation of the deign in ways that are natural for the architect and which do not draw attention to the handling of the interface Immersion: three-dimensional real-time experience of the design Simulation: visual, acoustic, and haptic simulation of the design for relevant feedback of design decisions Visualization: visualizing information that is non-visual by nature (e.g. heat transfer, cost, etc.)
