Abstract

For a long time, in the process of architectural design, mutual understanding between designers and users has always had problems and dilemmas, and most of these obstacles and problems were due to the lack of suitable interactive and communication tools and facilities. Therefore, it is necessary to use the inherent ability and potential of virtual reality technology in order to establish interactions and mutual and two-way communication. The present research has been carried out to investigate about the principal obstacles in the formation of interactive architecture emphasizing at the use of virtual reality technology. Considering the importance of technology in architecture, the purpose of this research is to evaluate the basic shortcomings in the formation of interactive architecture and the promotion of human interactions, emphasizing the benefit of virtual reality technology. The research method in the present research is mixed (quantitative-qualitative) with practical purpose and analytical-exploratory nature, in order to analyze the information, partial least squares model was used in Warp-pls software. The findings of the research show that among the basic obstacles of the formation of interactive architecture with an emphasis on virtual reality technology, we can point out the lack of attention to architectural contexts, the lack of attention to identity building goals and the lack of complementary interaction between architecture and nature. Therefore, in order to realize interactive architecture, to improve human interactions and also to increase the sense of belonging to the place of application of virtual reality technology in all kinds of architectural designs, taking into account the design fields, it is necessary to create a relative balance between all factors and pay attention to the development in the future.
