A Place Where People Are Free to Move: Exploring Dynamic Texture Mapping in Computer Graphic Systems
Cheng-Liang Lin · Proceedings of the International Conference on Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia · 2002
Recent studies, both collaborative design system and scenario scripting, attempt to explore further CG media. Corbusier pointed out that good architecture is a place where people can walk unrestrainedly and feel free in spirit. However, it is apparent that the human figures are still in animation, whereas they are free to move in the real world. The human figure always plays an important role in the development of design media. The objective of this paper is to develop a new design method using CG media and to study the process of dynamic human texture mapping within the CG. This research conducted a design experiment using computer as the sole design medium. The results show that the new design method not only altered the behavior of the designer, but also impacted design thinking cognition.
