Abstract

Shekili houses are traditional Iranian timber lodges originating in Guilan, south of the Caspian Sea. This research highlights this yet forgotten knowledge by adapting to contemporary Design for Disassembly (DfD) principles, leveraging the potential of Mixed Reality (MR) in the built environment. On the other hand, identified research gaps from a systematic literature review by authors suggest that human interaction is a critical factor in MR applications, including lack of involvement from clients who need to be more involved in design processes. The research aims to develop a disassembly MR workflow that non-trained stakeholders, including clients and owners, can deploy. The main question the authors intend to answer is, “How can MR technology facilitate disassembly processes by laypersons?”. Data is collected and verified through a design experiment with laypersons using Hololens©2 as a free-standing MR headset. Our findings emphasize facilitating the design process by integrating the non-trained public using MR.
