BCDG Restart Event - Waldemar Jenek and Jordan Haimes

Speaker 1: Waldamar Jenek

Title: Exploring Media Architecture Design in virtual design environments

Summary: Real-time visualisation software can refine the methods and tools of existing design processes of media architecture. Architecture does not have to be static anymore. Architecture designs can be interactive and temporary and capable of shifting in a short time to address different problems or needs by incorporating media into architectural structures. Media architecture can be understood as materials or objects with dynamic properties, such as interactive sources of light or moving elements, which embody the physical space on an architectonic scale. Traditionally, architecture is designed with static design tools such as sketches, drawings and physical models. However, there is little research about how to employ design tools to capture interaction media design in an architectural context. Besides, in higher education, virtual design environment tools, such as real-time visualisation software, can refine traditional teaching approaches while discovering new ways of design thinking and creating design solutions in architecture schools.
