TOOLS & TECHNOLOGYintermediateVR
Definition
An immersive digital environment experienced through a headset that allows architects and clients to walk through a building before it is built. VR enables spatial decisions — ceiling heights, room proportions, light quality — to be evaluated at full scale during design.
Example
Snøhetta used VR walkthroughs during the design of the National September 11 Memorial Museum in New York to assess the emotional impact of the descent sequence before construction.
