Virtual Aesthetics in Architecture: Designing in Mixed Realities presents a curated selection of projects and texts from leading architects and designers who are using virtual reality technologies to shape their design process. This book explores the aesthetic potential of virtual reality as an expressive medium in architectural design, sparking discussion and debate on its role in the industry.
Recent projects presented in the book are organized around five themes: introduction to mixed realities, space and form, context and ambiguity, materiality and movement, and body and social. Each theme features richly illustrated essays by leading academics and practitioners, including those from prominent architecture firms, detailing their design process using data-driven methodologies.
With over 150 images and a comprehensive overview of the current use of virtual reality technologies in architectural design, this book provides valuable insights for practitioners, academics, and students interested in cutting-edge digital design.
