Nel nostro mondo in via di sviluppo e cambiamento, i bisogni e le aspettative degli esseri umani stanno cambiando giorno dopo giorno e portano con sé innovazioni e sviluppo di nuove tecniche e metodi. Il mio interesse, la mia curiosità nel produrre soluzioni progettuali e l’atteggiamento da designer, che guarda in maniera critica ai mutevoli bisogni dell’umanità, mi hanno permesso di essere coinvolta nel progetto che mi ha portato a sviluppare questa tesi e a scoprire un software di progettazione architettonica in via di sviluppo. Durante il mio tirocinio (la mia esperienza di stage) in Zuru Tech Italy ho avuto l'opportunità di essere coinvolta e di lavorare allo sviluppo di un software BIM in tempo reale, di contribuire ai processi di progettazione dell’esperienza utente e di effettuare valutazioni critiche di progettazione e di processo durante questo percorso. Durante questo studio ho avuto la possibilità di unire le mie pregresse conoscenze accademiche, che mi hanno portato a conseguire una laurea in architettura, agli obiettivi di grande importanza di questo progetto. Ho contribuito e preso parte attiva agli studi di progettazione dell’esperienza utente di Dreamcatcher, il software di Zuru Tech Italy, considerando e combinando le esigenze e le aspettative del suo target, fatto di professionisti e non professionisti. Durante il processo di progettazione delle impostazioni software, progetto di cui mi sono occupata all’interno dell’azienda e che ho trattato all’interno di questa tesi, ho valutato il processo di sviluppo e progettazione di questo prodotto dal punto di vista del designer, sulla base di questa esperienza pratica. La mia intenzione, in questo studio, è stata quella di valutare gli obiettivi del progetto, che offre una soluzione alternativa ai metodi di costruzione attuali sfruttando al meglio le moderne tecnologie, e, facendone parte, avere l’opportunità di scoprire la metodologia progettuale agile, framework adottato dall’azienda. Di conseguenza, nel concludere questo studio, ho fatto una valutazione, del progetto con metodologia agile e dell’intero processo, alla luce delle informazioni che ho raccolto, estratto ed elaborato dalla letteratura e alla luce del processo che ho seguito nel periodo in cui ho lavorato e contribuito in azienda come UX designer.

Abstract
In our developing and changing world, the needs and expectations of the human race are also changing day by day, leading innovations and enabling the development of new techniques and methods. It would be impossible to deny the growing place of technologies developed to respond to the changing needs of humanity in our lives. As a UX designer, my interest and curiosity in producing design solutions by being able to looking at critical perspectives to the changing needs of humanity allowed me to be involved in a project that led me to develop this thesis and to discover an architectural design software that is in the process of development. I had the opportunity to be involved and work on a project that is the development of a real-time BIM software during my internship experience with Zuru Tech Italy. During this period, I contributed to the user experience design processes also were able to make critical design and process evaluations throughout this journey. In this study, in addition to my interest in design solutions, I found the chance to link the relationships I have established between my academic background, from which I completed an undergraduate degree in the field of architecture, and the proposals of this project, which were of great importance. While discovering Dreamcatcher, by Zuru Tech Italy, I contributed and took an active part in the user experience design studies of this software by considering and combining the needs and expectations of its target group, professional and non-professional users. During the software settings design process, which is the project I developed within the company and also is the project I documented in this thesis, I evaluated the development and projecting process of this product from the perspective of a designer, based on this practical experience. My aim in this study was to evaluate the goals and objectives of this project, which offers an alternative solution to the current construction methods with the aim of getting maximum efficiency from modern technology. While doing this, I had the opportunity to discover and take part in the structure of an agile design methodology that is the adopted framework by the company.
