summary

The research presented questions standard representational tools used in methods for project analysis and presentation in teaching. The experiment presented tests a hybrid workflow relying on extended reality and 3D scanning systems, creating a feedback loop in each step, expanding on current research. The work aims to leverage the potential in using advanced technology in a series of case studies, carried out by a group of 25 architecture students in three steps. The goal was for students to learn essential skillsets for Rhino 3D, 3D scanning methods, and virtual (VR) and mixed reality (MR) systems for analyzing complex architectural structures. The experiment was conducted using hybrid workflows, in groups of two and three, to enhance a research task of analyzing the design and construction of a timber pavilion. The three steps in the analysis are based on the initial reconstruction of the pavilion in Rhino 3D, establishing key aspects of the structure as 3D model data. In this initial step, MR systems are implemented to test, review, and adjust the digital 3D model in an interactive immersive environment. In the following step, the assembly logic identified in the structure is tested by using MR systems developed for fabricating a scaled physical model. In the final step, the physical model built in the previous step is 3D scanned. The resulting 3D model data is compared with the initial Rhino 3D model data assisted with VR systems and are evaluated for legibility, accuracy in execution, and degrees of fidelity. The approach offers a hybrid learning context that established feedback loops within interactive, immersive environments. This also enhanced the learning task and production of complex spatial structures and 3D data, also highlighting areas for improvement. The hybrid workflow has provided other opportunities for future work through the integration of other advanced technologies and further testing in scalable iterations within in the design and building process.
