Exploring the Design Space of Embodied Architectonic Interaction

This PhD abstract outlines a thesis that investigates potentials of interactive technology integrated in the built environment. Through constructive design research and design fiction, a series of these instances are and will be conceptualised, designed, developed, and deployed in under-construction educational contexts. Based on the deployment of the designed instances and the respectively applied design processes, a variety of contributions can be drawn: (1) design knowledge at the intersection of Interaction Design and Architecture, (2) methodological insights on designing and developing fully-working, long-term deployed, large-scale instances, and (3) empirical insights on their use and user experience.
