Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the role of spatial cognition during the architectural design activity, and how it affects design creativity. Recognizing that current CAD applications' Windows-Icon-Menu-Pointer (WIMP) user interfaces do not fully support creative exploration in modeling geometries for design, we design a prototype system that incorporates a regular pc and a depth camera for gestural input. We present the implementation and use scenario of the system, and discuss why gestural input may advance creativity in the design process.
