Abstract
This paper presents experimental research about developing a contextual
design and analysis workflow utilizing augmented reality (AR) technology to enrich the
current design process with an immersive experience. The limitation in the current
design process is that due to the lack of spatial perception of the architectural draft onsite preview, designers sometimes find it difficult to fully evaluate their design proposals,
which often causes unreasonable design outcomes and incomplete related analysis. To
respond to the above problems, the HoloBrick research aims to create a unique
augmented parametric algorithm for masonry façade designs to develop and validate
the proposed contextual AR-assisted design and analysis workflow, which consists of
two phases: a) AR contextual design, and b) AR contextual analysis and modification.
The research findings highlight the advantages of using AR in the design and analysis
process, such as providing immersive preview and interactive input methods, analyzing
design outcomes within context, and enhancing draft modifications with better
understanding, which are not offered in the current design process.
