“…Such possibility calls for augmented reality tools that can display planning scenarios (e.g. a new building) in virtual manner over existing terrain as demonstrated in Allen, Regenbrecht and Abbott (2011) and Oksman, Väätänen and Ylikauppila (2014). It also calls for place-based evaluation models and tools that take the current users positions, such as walkability or bikeability scores.…”

Citizen participation should be an essential part of an urban planning process if the needs of the local population are to be addressed. Citizen participation should also improve acceptance of private construction projects by residents that live in or near such development. A complementary form of citizen participation to public planning meetings is to permit citizen engagement via Web 2.0 technologies, which also has the potential to get citizens involved that are usually difficult to reach. We aim to build a social, i.e. participatory, planning platform that allows technology savvy citizens to inform themselves of future and ongoing development projects and to also discuss them online. In this work we discuss the functional needs and context-of-use constraints of such an e-planning platform. A conceptual model of the technical architecture is outlined and a prototype implementation is presented. This prototype is built on free and open source software components, including a social network, to enable platform adoption in other locations. Finally, we discuss the research needs that are to be addressed if the development of participatory e-planning platforms should advance.

Abstract. The consequences of architectural planning and design decisions made in the early design phases are hard to foresee. While professionals are used to reading plans and understanding architectural models, most laypeople are not familiar with their abstractions. This can lead to misinterpretations and misunderstandings between the different participants in the design process, especially in complex building situations, and decisions can be made or rejected that can have far-reaching consequences for the remainder of the project.In this paper we describe the concept and prototypical implementation of a decision-support system for the early design and discussion stages of urban design projects that aims to address precisely this problem. The setup directly connects physical volumetric models and hand-drawn sketches with an interactive, mixedreality visualization presented on a tablet or mobile phone, making it possible to see an interactive real-time view of an architectural design within the context of the actual site. In addition, the system is able to incorporate interactive simulations conducted on the model and presented in the AR-view. Keywords: Early design stages · Urban design · HCI · Tangible interfaces · Immersive environment · Simulations ProblemDuring the early design phases presentations and discussions between architects and clients usually involve sketches, paper and models. While designers are used to working intuitively with these tools, laypeople are not used to reading plans or scale models and find it difficult to relate these abstract representations to the real world. Many people, therefore, find it hard to assess the impact of design decisions at this stage for the later result.An alternative means of presentation is the use of perspective drawings and visualisations that show how an architectural design will look in a real scenario or the actual context. With the availability of affordable and ever more powerful computers, handdrawn perspectives have mostly been replaced by digital visualisations, initially in the form of individual rendered images and more recently in the form of immersive and © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2015 G.
