Abstract

The emergence of the metaverse as a three-dimensional virtual space has significantly disrupted the paradigm of digital architecture, challenging the constraints of physical space and fostering the development of more immersive, interactive, and collaborative design approaches. However, conceptual disparities and methodological limitations persist in addressing the integration of this technology into architectural practice. This study aims to identify, categorize, and analyze academic literature on the relationship between the metaverse and digital architecture. The research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method using a structured approach, including inclusion and exclusion criteria, keyword search strategies, and content analysis from reputable scholarly sources. The data reviewed comprise literature from the past five years discussing metaverse architecture, digital design innovation, virtual environments, immersive technologies, and future architectural practices. The findings reveal that the metaverse offers the potential to redefine architectural design through user experience and spatial immersion—dimensions that remain underexplored in prior studies. This study also presents a research roadmap and recommendations for developing inclusive, collaborative, and sustainable metaverse design models for the future of digital architecture.

Abstract

The construction industry faces significant challenges related to cost efficiency, delays, and design complexity. This study aims to highlight the importance of utilizing integrated simulation in architecture, civil engineering, and construction to enhance structural safety, sustainability, and performance. The methodology involves digital modeling using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and Abaqus software to analyze loads, deformations, and the impact of structural failures in bridges and high-rise buildings. Simulation results demonstrate that this approach can predict critical stress, detect early design weaknesses, and optimize material usage by up to 10%. Case studies such as the Sun Valley Structure and the CCTV Building in Beijing confirm the effectiveness of simulation in supporting complex designs. Consequently, this approach offers a holistic solution that promotes project efficiency and structural innovation in the modern construction era.

Abstract

The advancement of digital technology has transformed the paradigm of contemporary architectural design, including through the implementation of parametric architecture, which enables the creation of non-conventional forms and complex digital aesthetics. This study examines the Taichung National Theater in Taiwan as a concrete representation of parametric architecture in a public building. The main issues explored include how parametric design influences form, function, and spatial experience, as well as its reception within the local social and cultural context. This research employs a qualitative case study method, with data collected through interviews, direct observation, and visual documentation. The findings reveal that the parametric approach enables organic and efficient design, while also offering dynamic and interactive spatial experiences. The integration of digital technologies such as BIM and generative design plays a crucial role in realizing complex and unique architectural forms. In conclusion, parametric architecture is not merely a visual approach, but also a design strategy that impacts spatial perception and local architectural identity. This study offers both theoretical and practical contributions to understanding the potential of digital architecture as a medium for innovation and a shaper of future public space character.

Abstract

The growing demand for building energy efficiency has driven the development of active façade systems that harness solar energy. This study aims to evaluate the performance of a hybrid solar façade collector that utilizes two types of fluids—air and solar fluid—to enhance primary energy efficiency. The method employed is numerical simulation using the specifically developed MITHRA software, based on two-dimensional finite difference modeling and climate data from DWD. Validation was conducted through experiments using four test collector units. A matched-flow control strategy was implemented to optimize system operation based on actual energy efficiency. The results indicate that the use of dual fluids does not always outperform single-fluid systems; however, system efficiency improved significantly—by up to 15%—when the control strategy was applied. The MITHRA software also proved effective as a planning tool for the design of solar energy-based building façades.

Abstract

The background of this study lies in the urgent need for building energy simulation (BES) tools that can be used by architects during the early design stage to support the achievement of nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB) targets. This research aims to identify and evaluate CAD-integrated BES tools that are suitable for the conceptual design phase of buildings within the Swedish context. The methodology includes a literature review, screening of BES tools, testing on a Stockholmshus case using industry-standard values, and multi-criteria analysis through the Delphi method. The results indicate that EcoDesigner (ArchiCAD), Energy Evaluation, designPH (SketchUp), and Sefaira are the most relevant tools, although limitations persist regarding simulation assumptions, result consistency, and compliance with local regulations. The findings highlight the need for model calibration and further development to enhance the reliability of energy simulation outcomes during the early design stage.

Abstract

The development of virtual reality (VR) technology has transformed the way designers and users perceive and interact with space within the context of architecture and interior design. However, a deep understanding of the meaning of virtual space from the user's perspective remains limited, particularly in urban contexts such as Mumbai, where physical space is increasingly constrained. This study aims to explore and analyze the meaning of virtual spatial experiences in VR-based interior design in the city of Mumbai using a phenomenological approach. A qualitative research method was employed, utilizing phenomenological inquiry through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and visual documentation involving twenty participants from diverse professional, academic, and end-user backgrounds engaged with VR technology in interior design. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman technique, with validity ensured through credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability tests. The findings reveal that virtual space is not merely perceived as a technical visualization tool, but has evolved into an affective and conceptual realm, emotionally, imaginatively, and personally inhabited by its users. The experience of virtual space demonstrates deep user engagement, significantly shaping perception, understanding, and decision-making throughout the interior design process. These insights broaden conceptual understanding in digital architecture and offer practical implications for more participatory and user-centered design approaches, especially within densely populated urban environments such as Mumbai.
