The Architectural Design of Information Spaces in Virtual Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the architectural aspect of virtual environment design. It builds on precedents from the areas of architectural, urban design and environmental cognition and attempts to suggest an architectural way of thinking about designing the spatial elements of a virtual environment. A taxonomy of the objects and the spatial elements that a VE consists of is presented as the main hypothesis. Finally, a method for evaluating this hypothesis is suggested.
