“…Another advantage of VR is that it enables researchers to dynamically simulate the whole life cycle of buildings to evaluate the performance of prospective designs (Tas li & Özgüç, 2001). This is an important benefit since buildings are living entities in some sense.…”

“…The adoption of information technologies is considered to be an effective strategy to optimize, integrate, and support construction processes in architecture (Eastman et al, 2008; Paes, 2019). Among the many technologies, VR is a well-established research support tool in many architectural domains that focus on spatial cognition, perception, and behavior (Brade et al, 2017; De Kort et al, 2003; Higuera-Trujillo et al, 2017; Kuliga et al, 2015; Paes et al, 2017, 2021; Taşli & Özgüç, 2001) and have many advantages compared to real environments.…”

Visual perception of architectural spaces and human aesthetic experience in these spaces have recently received considerable interest in cognitive science. However, it has been difficult to construe a common understanding of aesthetic experience for architectural space, since different studies use different scales to measure aesthetic experiences. In this interdisciplinary study spanning cognitive science and architecture, we aim to provide an empirically driven systematic characterization of human aesthetic experience and investigate what aspects of the architectural spaces affect aesthetic experience. To this end, we manipulated various architectural variables including the shape of the curvilinear boundaries of architectural spaces as well as their size, light, texture, and color in virtual reality. We then had people evaluate these spaces by exhausting a large list of commonly used scales in the literature and applied principal component analysis to reveal the key dimensions of aesthetic experience. Our findings suggest that human aesthetic experience can be reduced to 3 key dimensions, namely familiarity, excitement, and fascination. Each of these dimensions are differentially affected by the various architectural variables revealing their differences. In sum, our study provides a comprehensive framework to characterize human aesthetic experience in virtual architectural spaces with curved boundaries.

“…The next important change was the implementation of network technologies which gave rise to CSCW (Computer Supported Collaborative Work) and e-commerce. CSCW enabled collaboration of geographically distributed design professionals and formation of "virtual teams" (Tasli, 1999). All of these events have affected traditional architectural design practices, although the impact was less far-reaching compared to large industries such as aerospace and automotive.…”

Intensive technology usage in education has been increasing in every field recently. Because computer based visual technology has been developing and becoming the most popular trend in the recent years. In addition to these decreasing prices of the computer based systems make this trend more attractive. Architectural education is one of the most difficult and expensive education and based on visual material. That's why computers and complicated software usage in architectural education has increased dramatically. Using these software, an architecture student can perform his/her project design spending less energytime but more realistic. But the disadvantage of these systems is to make students computer addicted and design their project without creativity. This paper aims to study advantages and disadvantages of this trend and to find a balance level. According to this concept, courses in architectural design are investigated. What kind of computer systems and software use in education is searched? Based on response of students, the advantages and disadvantages of this trend are studied. Main textComputing technology has achieved in the last two decades a tremendous advance; for example processing speed and circuit density have increased by order of magnitude. The software field has also progressed considerably, with new software development tools, programming languages and methodologies. This new powerful computing environment is packaged and made available to individual users in the form of 'Personal Computers', and to engineers or designers in the form of the new generation of 'Graphical Workstations'. During the same period, continuous research and development in the computer aided design field, has enabled to harness this computer power, and provide designers with new tools. Computer based design tools offer significant advantages over traditional design practice. In fact, they allow performing design operations in ways that have never been possible

“…Computer simulation is a branch of applied mathematics that is widely used by various disciplines. The different uses of computer simulation in various systems are classified as continuous vs. discrete, deterministic vs. stochastic or dynamic vs. steady state (Tasli and Ozguc, 2001). Development in computer science has led to the use of simulation in solving various problems, which had been difficult to handle, much more cost efficient and less time consuming, than experimental study (Richard, 2010).…”

The goals for achievingbetter performance of buildings need more innovative use of computers than a subjective assessment. This paper is a review of the literature about the use of computer simulation in building design and construction. This study examines the types and good examples of computer simulation. The literature review indicated that although computer simulations cannot completely replace the building fabric and components, they offer several benefits both for the building and its environmental performance. This study suggests that the successful use of computer simulation in assessing the energy performance of buildings depends on how, professionals integrate and use it in the design phase and building lifespan. Computer simulation can be employed at the building design phase and also on building in use. The appropriate role of computer simulation is its use to optimize the design of building components and service systems. This is applied according to their requirements for indoor air quality while achieving energy savings in the building. Computer simulations in buildings make it possible to examine in detail a number of solutions for the building geometry and construction, as well as its design and operation. This study also implied that computer simulations have high potentials of significantly increasing the energy efficiency of a building while also providing enhanced human comfort. Computer simulation has, therefore, become a necessary tool that should be integrated into the architectural curriculum in order to achieve sustainable building performance measurement.
