| summary |
Architecture has a profound impact on the behavior, emotions, and well-being of its occupants. Christopher Alexander's 'A Pattern Language' provides design solutions to create adaptive humanistic buildings. However, the lack of empirical support for these patterns is one of the reasons that hinder their widespread adoption that can result in the design of positive environments. It is imperative to test these patterns more rigorously. Immersive virtual reality can be used in this effort to simulate various architectural conditions based on recommendations from the patterns that can be tested with diverse groups of people. This paper proposes a method that demonstrates the use of shape grammar formalism to translate patterns presented textually into three dimensional architectural features. An initial/pilot test of this proposed method in a VR scene brought forward strengths and weaknesses in this approach that will aid in the development of future and more rigorous experiments. |
