User-Oriented Interactive Building Design

The objective of the paper is to presents the 3D VR-based environment for basic design of the apartment buildings. The key issue of the system is the user-in-the-loop philosophy which permits the interactive modification of the building design. The user is able to choose the preferences in order to select their best apartment design: number of bedrooms, bathrooms, distribution, sizes, sun-orientation, etc. And all with a simple click of the mouse. This user-oriented design need to have in account (in automatic way) numerous restrictions during the design, with the overall objective of obtaining, at the end of the design process, the feasible and realisable result. The friendly-user interface and internet-based facility of the system make them extremely easy to use.
