Simulation in Architectural Research
Journal Title: CREATIVE SPACE - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
In the new world of architectural research, technology has a main role to play. It is technology that has made possible the creation of a virtual world that triggers inferences and helps in drawing conclusions from facts and findings. This paper focuses on one of the research processes, i.e., ‘Architectural Simulation Research,’ which is often more analytical, pragmatic and adaptable in the forthcoming generation of architectural research. Architectural Simulation can be classified into drawings, photographs and different scale-models. This research can be executed in many ways on lines similar to the conventional ‘Logical Argumentation,’ ‘Experimental Research’ and, ‘Qualitative Research’. The paper also focuses on the tactical part of different categories of simulation research which deal with the characteristics of simulation types.
