Abstract: Abstract Perceptual simulation: This poster summarizes the research on perceptual simulation carried out at the Laboratorio di Simulazione Urbana Fausto Curti, where we investigate the relationship between the physical environment and people in order to inform urban design. In particular, by tackling the man-environment relationship from a subjective point of view, we aim at better understanding the well-being of people in real space, and anticipating human experience in future places through simulation. Hence, our investigations mostly rely on the use of images for analyzing, evaluating, communicating and designing. In fact, we take into account perception and sensory aspects in general, by developing and proposing several methods and tools for investigating the sensory experience within the built environment. A series of tools concerning perceptual simulation for urban design, used for education and research, are presented.
