Bige Tunçer is a Full Professor of Information Systems in the Built Environment at Eindhoven University of Technology, Faculty of Architecture, and is a co-investigator in the Architectural Cognition in Practice project in Future Cities Lab Global grogram of ETH Zurich, Singapore ETH Center. Her work focuses on the complex relationship between use and usage patterns of (urban) spaces, users’ perception and appreciation of these spaces, and the influence of physical configuration and attributes of these spaces on these. The goal is to develop data-driven methodologies for creating design support tools and platforms that are used by designers, planners, policy makers, citizens, and other stakeholders within the built environment sector. Tunçer is an established leader in the field of evidence-based design and urban science. She leads and participates in various large multidisciplinary research grants in evidence informed design and planning, IoT, urban science, and big data.

Main Fields of Research and Education:
