Human–Computer Interaction Series Nicholas S. Dalton Holger Schnädelbach Mikael Wiberg Tasos Varoudis Editors Architecture and Interaction Human Computer Interaction in Space and Place Human–Computer Interaction Series Editors-in-chief DesneyTan,MicrosoftResearch,USA JeanVanderdonckt,UniversitécatholiquedeLouvain,Belgium HCI is a multidisciplinary field focused on human aspects of the development of computer technology. As computer-based technology becomes increasingly pervasive – not just in developed countries, but worldwide – the need to take a human-centered approach in the design and development of this technology becomes ever more important. For roughly 30 years now, researchers and practitioners in computational and behavioral sciences have worked to identify theory and practice that influences the direction of these technologies, and this diverseworkmakesupthefieldofhuman-computerinteraction.Broadlyspeaking it includes the study of what technology might be able to do for people and how people might interact with the technology. The HCI series publishes books that advancethescienceandtechnologyofdevelopingsystemswhicharebotheffective and satisfying for people in a wide variety of contexts. Titles focuson theoretical perspectives (such as formal approaches drawn from a variety of behavioral sciences), practical approaches (such as the techniques for effectively integrating user needsin system development),and socialissues (suchas the determinantsof utility,usabilityandacceptability).

Printedonacid-freepaper ThisSpringerimprintispublishedbySpringerNature TheregisteredcompanyisSpringerInternationalPublishingAGSwitzerland Preface This book emerged from a chance collision of the editors, and others, at an ACM SIGCHI conference in 2011 in Vancouver. We were a disparate collection of academics and researchers who came together, all of us surprised that there were others who held an interest in, or connection to, architecture and the built environmentataconferenceonhuman-computerinteraction(HCI).Whilewetalked about it, it became clear that we were not the only ones who had this singularly quixotic preoccupation. In the process of creating a workshop for the subsequent ACMSGICHIconference,wewereabletobegintoarticulatethenascentsynthesis of the hitherto seemingly divergent areas of human computer interaction and architecture. Throughthe process of creating and runningthe workshop, we have begunto feelthat these areasare bothcomplementaryand likely to share a future together. As the chapters in this book will attest, architecture is exploring the use of digital technology and, at the same time, many digital technologiesare exploring theirintegrationintobuildings,contextsandplaces.Givenotherpriorandongoing researchandeventsinthisarea,ourmeetingandsubsequentworkshopappearsless the consequence of chance and more the inevitable process of building/computer convergence. This book and this field are still highly formative, much of the work we did in editing the book was identify themes, issues and concerns. As two disciplines collide, it is inevitable that new terms and new languages have to be shared and mutually comprehended. This is not an inconsequential task and in overcoming these early communicationproblemswe hope we are creating the foundationsfor later research to build upon. The objective of this book is to initiate discussions, initiatecollaborationsandrevealashiftinperspectives. Historically, when human computer interaction moved from command line interfacestoearlygraphicuserinterfaces,itwasrealizedthatthedomainofgraphic design was not a trivial area of expertise which could be easily discounted or subsumedintotheinteractionprocess.Visualdesignbecameadomainofknowledge which added to the richness of the interaction process and interaction research. v vi Preface Similarly,aswemoveintotherealmofinteractioninthebuiltenvironment,human computer interaction researchers might then see those with knowledge of space, inhabitation and architecture as bringing new knowledge and expertise into the realmofinteractiondesign.FundamentallyWeiser’svisionofubiquitouscomputing was thatof ‘technologybeyondthedesktop’,embeddedin the fabricof the world aroundus.Whileinteractionspecialistsseethepotentialbenefits,bothintheutility andsimplificationofinteractionthatthis‘embeddedness’brings,theyarelesslikely to be aware of the wealth of design expertise which has developed over many millenniainthedesignofbuiltform.Theobjectiveofthisbookistointroducethose designprofessionalsandinteractionresearcherstoeachother,sothatthepossibility ofsolutionstotheircurrentproblemsalreadyexistingmightbediscovered. Atthesametime,wehopethatsomeofthewealthofprojectsinthisbookshow that architecture is not a passive partner or a consultancy in waiting to HCI. We hope to show that architects are highly passionate about the integration of digital componentsintothedesignofthebuildenvironment.Fromaninteractionpointof view,thereisagreatdealabouttheprocessofdesigningforinteraction,whichthe architecturalworldisequallyunawareof. The central task, therefore, of this book is one of introduction. If this book could encouragethose on either side of the divide to cross over,as our workshop participants did, then its purpose will be fulfilled and the efforts of the authors, editorsandorganizerswillbewellrewarded.
