title	Interactive Simulation in Virtual Environments - A Design Tool for Planners and Architects
source	International Journal of Architectural Computing vol. 5 - no. 1, pp. 116-126
summary	Simulations can assist planners in optimizing their design and in minimizing its environmental impact. By adjusting the architecture according to simulation results, and running further simulations based on the adjusted design, an iterative process can help to increase the design quality. Up to now computing simulations have taken a long time, thus only a very limited number of iterations could be calculated. This project shows an approach that is close to a real time simulation. By dividing the simulation into smaller parts and running the software on clusters or vector supercomputers, first results are available within several seconds, and reasonable results in less than one minute. Besides the technical features, another focus is the easy accessibility of the simulation. Intuitive methods like a tangible user interface provide easy interaction methods for specialists as well as non specialists. The results of the simulation can be visualized and interacted with from the desktop or any kind of virtual environments. Further aspects like limitations of automatic grid generation, shape recognition and computation power are discussed.

title	Predicting the Future
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2007
source	25th eCAADe Conference Proceedings [ISBN 978-0-9541183-6-5], Frankfurt am Main (Germany) 26-29 September 2007, 962 p.
summary	Digital tools can support the whole design process from the early phases through to final production. They enable the project participants to gain a better understanding of ideas and issues throughout all project phases. The focus of the eCAADe 2007 conference is that of tools and methods that support the whole range of participants from laymen to specialists in communicating, planning, costing and realizing built projects in all of the architectural fields.
