Construction Decision making using Virtual RealitySwaroop Ashok (8790986) 01 May 2020 (has links)
<p>We make decisions every day, some with the potential for a
huge impact on our lives. This process of decision-making is crucial not only
for individuals but for industries, including construction. Unlike the
manufacturing industry, where one can make certain decisions regarding an
actual product by looking at it in real time, the nature of construction is
different. Here, decisions are to be made on a product which will be built
somewhere in the near future. The complex and interim nature of construction
projects, along with factors like time essence, increasing scale of projects
and multitude of stakeholders, makes it even more difficult to reach consensus.
Incorporating VR can aid in getting an insight on the final product at the very
beginning of the project life cycle. With a visual representation, the
stakeholders involved can collaborate on a single platform to assess the
project, share common knowledge and make choices that would produce better
results in all major aspects like cost, quality, time and safety. This study
aims at assessing decision-making in the earlier stages of construction and
then evaluating the performance of immersive and non-immersive VR platforms.</p>

Design with concerns: A community-based senior center in GermanyHou, Congsi, Saeger, Aline, Golde, Jörn 19 December 2019 (has links)
Community-based care facilities have a positive effect in supporting older adults and people with dementia thus improving their well-beings. Despite authoring empirical studies focused on providing design interventions, researchers often remain unclear about whether and how exactly practitioners and architects should implement these interventions. This paper presents an on-going project of a senior center in a small municipality in Germany. It aims to explain how the municipality (the client) and the design team (the architect) cooperate to apply updated research-based interventions, and how trade-offs are made. It discusses several research-based interventions during the design process. They include: 1) the early engagement of architects into the planning process; 2) the use of small-scale care units as care concept; 3) offering easily accessible and visible communal areas within the building;
4) providing an area open to the neighborhood; and 5) taking into consideration of the local urban form and materials. The article enables the readers to gain an insider look of the design process of a care facility and become familiar with some of the common trade-offs in design practice. Sufficient access to research materials and efficient communication with the client from the beginning of a project are the key elements to successfully implement research-based design interventions.

Designing for long, collective anticipation : An exploration of sharing expectations of future life and mobility around the long making of a train line. / Design för lång, kollektiv förväntanHulling, Cornelia January 2023 (has links)
This project is about designing for alternative public engagementin infrastructure projects that span over longtime scales and long distances: Looking specifically atthe case of the North Bothnia Line – a train line plannedbetween the two northern Swedish cities of Umeå andLuleå, 270 km apart, which could be estimated to befinished around 2040. With a participatory design approach, I investigate thescope of the infrastructure project – the different stakeholdersand examples of current public engagement efforts.I then explore how to facilitate dialogues on futurelife and mobility in the north in alternative ways. In my initial research I seek a systemic understandingof the project from public employees in city planning,project management and communication. Through interviews, field explorations, design probesand workshops, I identify a set of qualities that characterisethis particular project – to design for and with:Future anticipation, temporal uncertainty, and situatedhuman experiences. These qualities are used to create aframework for prototyping interactions to facilitate dialoguesaround expectations around future life, and howto engage people in discussing this now. Synthesizing from insights, ideas, and interactionsexplored in an iterative design process, I develop aconceptual platform and digital service design. Thedesign I eventually set out to create is a conceptualpublic engagement platform for infrastructure projectsspanning long distances and uncertain timeframes.Enabling a space for open anticipation in the regions ofVästerbotten and Norrbotten, and working with aspectsand metaphors of celebration, longing, and collectiveplanning and dialogues.

Opportunities from Disaster: The Case for Using The Circular Economy in Debris ManagementToy W Andrews (11176893) 23 July 2021 (has links)
Following a grounded theory research model, the research uncovered and presented the state of debris recycling to a national association of demolition contractors to measure their willingness and attitudes towards the growing trend in the circular economy and adapting their business models to incorporate it into their own contracts. The first part was finding the deficiencies in the current model based on government reports and through interviews with county-level emergency managers. Second, successful businesses that already use the circular economy design in their operations were used as exemplars to emulate and their opinions and suggestions were discussed. The outputs of the emergency managers and the successful businesses was folded into the third phase of the research with surveys to the membership of the National Demolition Association (NDA) with multiple-choice, scalar questions and open-ended, opinion-heavy questions throughout. The findings were reported back to the head of the partnering organization, the NDA, to focus outreach, training, and policy advocacy concentration for the national organization as a whole, but to related and tangentially-connected industries to their own.
