A qualidade do ambiente edificado e a percepção do usuário através da realidade virtual

Abstract

Sustainable buildings are, in general, those that employ design strategies, ecotechnologies and materials with the lowest environmental impact. However, the focus is not usually on the user - on the one who will actually enjoy that building. Environmental psychology is the area of knowledge that encompasses the personenvironment relationship, being the object of this work. It is a relationship between architecture and psychology, predicting the creation of more humanized environments, resulting in ecologically harmonious strategies. The aim of this work is to analyze user perception, using virtual reality to evaluate projects and, not only to value the perception of the user but also to bring to the ventures the issue of environmental sustainability - creating virtual environments without the need to build samples or real rooms. As a result of the methodology proposed in this pilot study, it was possible to understand better the feasibility of applying the virtual reality to the architecture, as well as validate the purpose of reinventing the presentation and project management.
