A Landscape Design Method Proposal Supported by Augmented Reality

Design can be summarized as the process of finding solutions that begin in the human mind. This process leads to different outcomes depending on the designer’s approach, creativity, and interpretation of the design problem. With the rise of digital technologies in the modern era, landscape architects have gained enhanced capabilities to understand spatial and visual compositions. Within the scope of this study, a new landscape design process was proposed by integrating augmented reality (AR) technology into traditional design workflows. Based on expert feedback and field implementation, it was concluded that AR technology offers significant advantages for evaluating preliminary designs in real space, enabling improved spatial perception, interaction, and communication. The findings indicate that AR-supported design enhances cognitive-emotional user engagement and provides valuable contributions to the iterative development and educational use of landscape design projects.
