This thesis approaches Architecture from an Art perspective. It entails the effectiveness of visualisation of digital architectures. It would seem that making visualisations of architectures is very much an art. How do we visualise such a complex thing as architecture? Are all the details needed, or should we go by the principle of keep it simple?
In this thesis I will deal with the effectiveness of using visualisations with architecture. The usage of visualisations can have many different purposes. Sub points that will be dealt with are:
-
When to use visualisation?
-
What purpose does the visualisation have?
-
What techniques and tools are there for visualisation
-
How is visualisation used in practise and how can it be used?
-
What should and shouldn t architects do?
-
A test in of visualisation
-
A model for visualisation
All of the above and subsets thereof will be discussed to answer the following central question of this thesis. In what manner does visualisation and communication of information between stakeholders take place with an architecture approach to system development, how efficient is it and how can this efficiency be increased?
