THE ARUP EXPERIENCELAB

Abstract

The methods by which engineers, designers and planners make decisions is by using experience, based on evidence and their perception of the information presented to them. Tools have been produced to create experiences that help better inform a design decision, by enabling greater engagement and participation in the design process. These tools aim to recreate an environment as accurately as possible, as it has been shown that the smaller the gap between expectations and actual experience, the more effective the design [1].
