41	Construction Decision making using Virtual Reality Swaroop 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> <br> <p> </p> Building Science and Techniques Design Innovation Digital and Interaction Design Construction Decision-making Virtual Reality
42	Design with concerns: A community-based senior center in Germany Hou, 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. info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/620 ddc:620

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. participatory democratic design design practice public sector infrastructure project deltagandebaserad demokratisk design designpraxis offentlig sektor infrastrukturprojekt Design Design Interaction Technologies Interaktionsteknik Human Aspects of ICT Mänsklig interaktion med IKT Communication Systems Kommunikationssystem

46	Opportunities from Disaster: The Case for Using The Circular Economy in Debris Management Toy 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.
