Abstract

Space-defining rotatable architectural elements enable inhabitants to reshape the living space to their needs. In a field study, a prototype home was built that includes various multifunctional elements such as a rotatable wall, closet and lamps. Over the course of multiple months, multivariate time-series data was collected using sensors placed in the prototype home. To visualize frequent element constellations and to compare constellations across different user groups, we developed a visualization system that embeds rotation distributions on the floor plan, and allows comparing the behavior different user groups. Based on the visualization, we report on observations made by the architecture researchers.
