Title and abstract of thesis project

PERFORMANCE BASED EARLY DESIGN
Informing, Stimulating and Inspiring Architectural Design

Changing needs and expectations in architecture practice, not only regarding environmental issues, but also the technological advancements, fulfilling comfort needs and managing energy efficiency, as well as advancing aesthetic quality of a design are more challenging for architects than ever. In parallel to these developments, the role of digital tools of design and building performance analysis are redefined and the use of them in an integrated manner by architects became a must rather than option. Including Building Performance Simulation (BPS) in design process as early as possible and using it not only as performance evaluator, but also as a design stimulator to inspire the architects during design exploration is essential. However, BPS is still not an inherent part of design. There is a need for new ways of thinking and approaches in terms of utilization of BPS both in practice and education, and additionally many other obstacles needed to be addressed e.g. ease of use, compatibility, interoperability, affordability, user friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI), visual representation and integration of intelligent design knowledge. In response, this research aims to present an experimental approach for Performance Based Early Design (PBED) by using methods; such as literature review, surveys & interviews, examination of existing design and BPS tools, development and test of PBED prototypes, guiding an architectural design studio, and case studies.
