New publication with Kostas Mouratidis in the journal: Cities

New publication of a research collaboration with Department of Urban and Regional Planning researcher Kostas Mouratidis is now out in the journal Cities with the title " Contemporary versus traditional styles in architecture and public space: A virtual reality study with 360-degree videos”. The study has two innovative aspects: (1) it is the first study internationally (and the first in Norway) to compare aesthetic evaluations of contemporary versus traditional architecture, (2) it uses a new research method based on Virtual Reality technology and 360-degree videos.
