Abstract:

This paper presents an experimental approach that examines the response of non-architects to three virtual representations of architecture within a non-immersive Virtual Reality (VR) environment. It investigates the use of current digital technologies in their ability to facilitate early design stage sketch representation and explores the communication of early stage digital design proposals in order to determine the effect of representation type upon perception.
