Space Portrait: Establishment of a Lifestyle-Directed Visualized Model for Interior Design
Chiung-Hui Chen · Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering · 2015
Effective interior design service relies on users′ needs and the agreements between designers and users; this requires good communication between the two parties. Therefore, establishing an interactive model to record user involvement in the design process, as well as visually analyzing the user′s lifestyle and needs, warrants exploration. This study targeted specific interior design cases and the daily lives of users. The research introduces a sphere activity change map that uses information visualization to understand users′ daily activities. This model offers a life-model-based information tree as a tool to highlight the space spheres individual family members emphasize. The tool then visualizes the distribution of the average time family members spend in each space sphere.
