Dynamic Architectural Visualization Based on User-Centered Semantic Interoperability

Technically-oriented architectural spaces today are becoming complicated because buildings contain a number of electronic facilities and complex structures. Furthermore, the advent of the ubiquitous environment enables buildings to provide various services to users and has accelerated the importance of architectural visualization as a problem-solving and communicating tool. It is recommended that architectural visualization be more intuitive and effective in order to support design decisions and collaboration. In this manner, this paper intends to define the role of current architectural visualization with considerations of previous research and related works in the practical field and proposes the appropriate method of architectural visualization. Also, in order to evaluate their idea, the authors recommend a prototype system based on dynamic and semantic representation using the avatar. This is a kind of simulator for the design of ubiquitous smart spaces and can deliver to users a better comprehension of how technological oriented space can be constructed and utilized.
