Interactive Exploration of Architecture Using Exploded Views (DAEV)

The master thesis at hand addresses automated generated explosion views as a tool of visualization and how they can be applied to illustrate architecture. I investigate existing solutions of the generation and the related theoretical foundation of explosion views, assembling process, architecture and visualization. Then I extract useful concepts from the foundation research to deduce design principles. The major part of the work is the designing and implementation of a visualization system that empowers the user to interactively explore and understand an architectural building. I hereby examine to what extend explosion views can be applied to do so.
