“…(2021), the level of realism in a VR environment depends on the purpose of the experience; providing a focused representation could create an experience with presence. Additionally, to create a real-life scale in a VR environment, designing depth perception facilitated by shape, size, volume, proportion and scale refers to the level of realism (Paes et al. , 2023), even without building hyper-realistic characteristics as responsive agents (urban elements and social agents).…”

“…According to Scurati et al (2021), the level of realism in a VR environment depends on the purpose of the experience; providing a focused representation could create an experience with presence. Additionally, to create a real-life scale in a VR environment, designing depth perception facilitated by shape, size, volume, proportion and scale refers to the level of realism (Paes et al, 2023), even without building hyper-realistic characteristics as responsive agents (urban elements and social agents). Furthermore, as Shemesh et al (2017) emphasized, isolating the desired variables by eliminating some properties of an environment is essential for conducting a controlled experiment and collecting accurate physiological data.…”

PurposeThe present study investigates human behavioral and emotional experiences based on human-built environment interaction with a specific interest in urban graffiti displaying fear and pleasure-inducing facial expressions. Regarding human behavioral and emotional experience, two questions are asked for the outcome of human responses and two hypotheses are formulated. H1 is based on the behavioral experience and posits that the urban graffiti displaying fear and pleasure-inducing facial expressions elicit specified behavioral fear and pleasure responses. H2 is based on emotional experience and states that the urban graffiti displaying fear and pleasure-inducing facial expressions elicit specified emotional fear and pleasure responses.Design/methodology/approachThe research design is developed as a multi-method approach, applying a lab-based experimental strategy (N:39). The research equipment includes a mobile electroencephalogram (EEG) and a Virtual Reality (VR) headset. The behavioral and emotional human responses concerning the representational features of urban graffiti are assessed objectively by measuring physiological variables, EEG signals and subjectively by behavioral variables, systematic behavioral observation and self-report variables, Self-assessment Manikin (SAM) questionnaire. Additionally, correlational analyses between behavioral and emotional results are performed.FindingsThe findings of behavioral and emotional evaluations and correlational results show that specialized fear and pleasure response patterns occur due to the affective characteristics of the urban graffiti's representational features, supporting our hypotheses. As a result, the characteristics of behavioral fear and pleasure response and emotional fear and pleasure response are identified.Originality/valueThe present paper contributes to the literature on human-built environment interactions by using physiological, behavioral and self-report measurements as indicators of human behavioral and emotional experiences. Additionally, the literature on urban graffiti is expanded by studying the representational features of urban graffiti as a parameter of investigating human experience in the built environment.

Auditing future public places that have not yet been constructed can be a laborious, time-consuming, and expensive task. However, the human factor plays a crucial role in successful infrastructure design. By involving users early in the design process, valuable insights can be gained prior to the physical construction, resulting in more appealing spaces for users. In this research, we explore the potential of non-immersive virtual reality to perceive atmospheres in architectural projects. We investigate suitable methodologies for studying this subject and examine its educational implications in architecture. The study focuses on a large-scale neighborhood currently undergoing complete reconstruction. We extract and model four environments in 3D, offering a virtual tour of these spaces and their infrastructures to both expert and non-expert participants. Through a questionnaire, we collect their responses to evaluate the architectural atmospheres of these distinct areas. This article analyzes the expressed feelings and provides projections on the anticipated sensations once the real estate project is completed. Additionally, it compares the expectations of professionals with the impressions of the public based on virtual visits. By emphasizing outdoor architecture and employing a larger city 3D model in the experimentation, this study contributes to the existing literature on participatory studies. The empirical research findings underscore the advantages of involving users early in the design process for buildings and streetscapes, leading to an enhanced user experience before implementing infrastructure renovations.

“…This unawareness of design issues, regardless of previous experience with interpretation of 2D drawings, could also be interpreted as the client representatives being more receptive towards using the different user-interfaces of the ViCoDE system and in particular HMD VR. This could be due to HMD being perceived as a more engaging information and visualization medium than 2D drawings (Johansson, 2016) with the ego-centric frame of reference client representatives had via HMD VR (Paes et al, 2023), helped them better assess different furnished layouts in workshop 1 and 2. Moreover, the design changes made in the 1 st workshop with HMD VR and multitouch table and later incorporated in the 2 nd workshop, can be interpreted as client representatives being provided with clearer visual cues (e.g., size of room, placement of windows) (Hermund et al, 2017) when perceiving volumetric qualities of the building design better in fullyimmersed virtual environment (Chowdhury & Schnabel, 2020).…”

“…This experience of users "stepping into the design" is referred to as an immersive experience (Castronovo et al, 2013;Johansson, 2016). When fully immersed, users can experience the design from a usercentric viewpoint, i.e., an ego-centric frame of reference (Paes et al, 2023), which provides clearer visual cues (e.g., size, shape, location) (Hermund et al, 2017). Enhanced visual cues not only help users better perceive volumetric qualities of the building design than when 2D drawings and 3D models are used (Chowdhury & Schnabel, 2020), but also help users gain a more representative understanding of the final building design (Nikolić & Whyte, 2021).…”

Although immersive virtual reality (VR) has been shown to facilitate collaborative understanding of a design, many users remain resistant to its use. Moreover, there is currently a lack of real-world studies investigating why certain users (e.g., architects) are resistant to use VR during design reviews. The aim of this study is to understand the resistance that influence client representatives’ and architects’ interaction with a VR-system that supports both fully- and non-immersive experiences of the virtual environment. Data were gathered from three VR-workshops, which were part of 3 design review sessions of a new elementary school. Additional data were gathered from four semi-structured interviews with both the architects and client representatives participating in all workshop sessions, the interior architect involved in the project as well as an additional six semi-structured interviews. These additional six interviews involved exterior architects from different firms, who had previously used VR for both informative and design review purposes. The findings suggest that client representatives and the architects had initially been resistant to use VR during the design reviews, but their attitudes changed progressively during the three workshops, in particular that of the architects. The findings also indicate that interactive features in VR (e.g., object manipulation, multi-user) help end users negotiate design requests more efficiently and make informed decision-making. This paper highlights how immersive VR could improve the design review process
