Deep Learning-based Segmentation of Thermal Images for Heat Loss Detection in Building Façade

Inspired by a set of Paul Rudolph’s ‘energy drawings’ that describe various phenomenal dimensions in Mies’s Barcelona Pavilion, this paper develops methods for representing the visual perception of architecture using Rudolph’s own Tuskegee Chapel (Tuskegee University, Alabama) as a site of inquiry. Viewers’ navigation and perception were recorded as they visually engaged with the chapel using various technologies, including localization mapping, eye tracking, and light-based spatial scanning. While the initial ambition for the research was to emulate one specific variant of Rudolph’s energy drawings, the potential that resulted from integrating various sensors and apparatuses allowed for the consolidation of an array of perceptual phenomena and provided a deeper reading into Rudolph’s original graphic analyses.
