PUDCAD Project. Towards a CAD-Based Game for the Implementation of Universal Design Principles in Design Education

Abstract

The series "Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing" contains publications on theory, applications, and design methods of Intelligent Systems and Intelligent Computing. Virtually all disciplines such as engineering, natural sciences, computer and information science, ICT, economics, business, e-commerce, environment, healthcare, life science are covered. The list of topics spans all the areas of modern intelligent systems and computing such as: computational intelligence, soft computing including neural networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary computing and the fusion of these paradigms, social intelligence, ambient intelligence, computational neuroscience, artificial life, virtual worlds and society, cognitive science and systems, Perception and Vision, DNA and immune based systems, self-organizing and adaptive systems, e-Learning and teaching, human-centered and human-centric computing, recommender systems, intelligent control, robotics and mechatronics including human-machine teaming, knowledge-based paradigms, learning paradigms, machine ethics, intelligent data analysis, knowledge management, intelligent agents, intelligent decision making and support, intelligent network security, trust management, interactive entertainment, Web intelligence and multimedia. The publications within "Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing" are primarily proceedings of important conferences, symposia and congresses. They cover significant recent developments in the field, both of a foundational and applicable character. An important characteristic feature of the series is the short publication time and worldwide distribution. This permits a rapid and broad dissemination of research results.

Narrating Ancient Roman Heritage through Drawings and Digital Architectural Representation: From Historical Archives, UAV and LIDAR to Virtual-Visual Storytelling and HBIM Projects

“…In recent years, BIM based on advanced digitisation techniques, such as the scan-to-BIM process, has made it possible to propose new innovative workflows. In this context, 3D modelling, extended reality (XR), gaming and BIM for built heritage (HBIM) have made it possible to associate more and more information with 3D representations, passing from geometric models to projects capable of communicating heterogeneous information and addressed to different purposes [27][28][29].…”

Universal design (UD) in indoor space: Symbiosis between disabled bodies and abled bodies

“…Universal design helps in developing indoor spaces to be user-friendly and benefit the disabled individuals which include increasing accessibility of various spaces and chances in exploring environments independently (Buratti et al 2019). It also offers them the equipment that is highly advanced and can be used for social integration.…”

“…Universal designing in indoor spaces play a vital role in developing and assisting architecture towards a clear pathway in identification of the movable space for the disabled-bodies and considering a plan that helps to access the outset and attempt the programming of interior spaces with various preferences and styles (Buratti et al 2019). The insufficient of knowledge for Universal design and applicability takes into consideration the inefficiencies of the interior designs and framework of architecture, where the utmost benefits for both abled-body and disabledbody are not achieved.…”

An Educational Path on Universal Design. Video Games as Learning Tools

“…The five groups, composed by a student of each partner school, developed scenarios and designed an innovative school environment, namely the entrance and exhibition hall, a classroom, a laboratory, an auditorium and a library [2]. Each environment concept takes into account Universal Design principles and the library, conceived with modular furnishing elements that can be used by both ablebodied and disabled people (Fig.…”
