In our digital age, human social communication is increasingly mediated. However, mediated social communication (MSC) systems will only become a viable alternative for in-person social interactions when they reliably and intuitively convey all relevant social and spatial cues needed by communication partners to establish effective communication, collaboration, mutual understanding, and trust. A lot of research has been done on mediated communication in general, and on the effect of social cues in particular. However, this research typically focuses on particular social cues, investigating effects of implementations in particular situations. In addition, the research often focuses on answering psychological or cognitive questions. The translation to design questions such as functional and technical requirements is often left to the developers of the technical systems. This leaves a gap between psychological research results and a translation towards practical guidelines for designers and developers. This paper aims to make a first step towards guidelines for the implementation of social cues for social XR implementations.

he intelligent era has witnessed a profound integration of computing and design, leading to significant changes in the scale, scope, and tools of design, and has had a profound impact on future design practices. In particular, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) has made mutual understanding, communication, and collaboration between humans and machines an inevitable topic in design. This has prompted designers to reconsider their existing work modes, processes, mindset, collaborative relationships, and the application of collaborative design tools. What new insights do these changes bring to the mindset of designers? How can we redefine the mindset of designers based on the characteristics of the intelligent era and guide current design practices? This study focuses on the deep integration of technology and design in the intelligent era, combining insights from academic literature and the perspective of the design industry to explore how designers can effectively respond to the challenges of deep human-machine collaboration in the intelligent era from three aspects: design objects, thinking patterns, and methods.

Scholars have focused on “design and emotion” for more than a decade. Various studies, models, and theories have been proposed and adopted to explore the relationship between design and emotion, and to explain how emotion can be applied in the design process. After the theories are categorised according to the respective focuses, three main components that influence or are influenced by emotion can be identified: designers, design outcome and users or consumers in the design cycle. Based on the relationships amongst these components, numerous similar terms categorised under emotion and design that have clear and concrete rationales and definitions have been developed. For instance, “emotionalised design” refers to design in which designers introduce their emotions into the design process. “Emotional design” is viewed as design that can stimulate users’ or consumers’ emotion. “Emotion design” is design in which emotional concerns are involved in the interactions between designers and users.However, few studies have focused on designers’ perceptions of these terms and of the role of emotion in design. By conducting an empirical study, we investigated designers’ perceptions of three terms, emotion design, emotional design, and emotionalised design, and explored designers’ experience regarding emotion and design.

One of the key indicators of the viability of the economy of any nation is the aggregate output of its construction industry. To this end, it is highly encouraged that significant investment portions of any country should be devoted to capital investment to spur development and ultimately boost the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). However, capital projects are usually attributed with the demands of enormous financial input, hence, due to low gross domestic savings, alternative source of financing such as foreign direct investment (FDI) as against the conventional government-sourced financing experienced in most developing countries is highly encouraged. In the light of the aforementioned, this study assesses the benefits of FDI in the South African construction industry. Construction professionals formed the population of the study, while the data elicited from the respondents was analysed with appropriate analytical tools. Findings from the study shows that the most significant benefits of the flow of FDI into the South African construction industry are technology transfer, enhanced productivity and human resource development. Conclusively, the study makes recommendations that would help in stimulating the flow of FDI into the construction industry in South Africa considering the inherent benefits as revealed in its findings.

Since the 1980s, cities in Europe, the US and other regions have witnessed a "renaissance" of public art. More and more artists have also begun to focus on the design process of public art, as well as the definition, function and its impact on urban development. These discussions mostly focus on the concept of public art itself and its location in public space, with little attention given to the relationship between public art and public space, its intended audience and the service functions it should provide. This article starts from the classification and function of public art, and re-examines the relationship between public art and public space, its service functions and effects based on Dewey's "art as communication" theory, as well as the link between artists and audiences in public space settings. Through some case studies, this research discusses the impact of public art and hopes that public artists will take responsibility for optimizing the quality of public space services by involving the audience in the design process of public art.

The covid-19 pandemic brought about disruption, change and challenges in many industries including the construction industry. Quantity Surveyors are the cost consultants of this industry. In 2021, 72% of all quantity surveyors in South Africa were younger than 45 years and the vast majority of this group form part of the millennial cohort. Millennials are the future upon which the quantity surveying profession will build and job security plays a key role when it comes to retaining talent. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact covid-19 had on job security of millennial quantity surveyors. A quantitative research design was utilised making use of a questionnaire as research instrument. The questionnaire was distributed nationally by, the Association of South African Quantity Surveyors. The main findings indicate that 63% of millennial quantity surveyors felt that their jobs are not secure anymore and 48% indicated that they were considering emigration. The findings of this paper will be of value to quantity surveying employers as well as associations and professional bodies in the Built Environment.

This paper contains the first stage of a research developed by Buen Comienzo Programme, Medellin Mayor’s Office and a group of Architects, to identify the minimum area required for a child aged between 3 and 5 years old, while occupying a kindergarten. According to the Colombian Technical Regulation (NTC4595) for architectural design in Colombia, the minimum area for Educational Buildings is 2 m2 per child. This measure includes: the work area (0,5 m x 0,7 m =0,35 m2) per student, the storage area (10% of the work area, 0,035 m2), and the area for general furniture. Pursuant to this standard, it can be deducted that occupancy of buildings is determined by the regular furniture dimensions. However, the movements of children are determined not only by furniture but also by their relationship with other children. Therefore, data of children’s dimensions in movement can improve the decision making process for the architectural design, pedagogy and the review of regulations. This research was developed considering that a child spends 70% of their time in a kindergarten, in constant interaction with other children, objects and furniture. The content will refer to the review of world and local regulation about children occupancy in educational buildings.
这篇论文包含了由Buen Comienzo项目、麦德林市长办公室和一组建筑师开发的研究的第一阶段，以确定3至5岁儿童所需的最小面积，同时占用幼儿园。根据哥伦比亚建筑设计技术法规(NTC4595)，教育建筑的最小面积为每个孩子2平方米。该措施包括:每个学生的工作区(0,5 m x 0,7 m =0,35 m2)，存储区(工作区域的10%，0,035 m2)和一般家具的区域。根据这一标准，可以推断建筑物的占用是由规则的家具尺寸决定的。然而，孩子们的运动不仅取决于家具，还取决于他们与其他孩子的关系。因此，儿童运动维度的数据可以改善建筑设计、教学和法规审查的决策过程。这项研究是考虑到一个孩子在幼儿园里花费70%的时间，不断地与其他孩子、物体和家具互动。内容将参考有关儿童入住教育建筑的国际和地方法规的审查。

Virtual reality (VR) headset has been increasingly applied in various activities with longer wearing time, such as gaming or training. Users no longer stay in a static state but are more likely to perform a series of body movements. This paper focuses on the dynamic thermal comfort of head mounted displays (HMDs) to explore the VR experience in state of motion. Eight participants wore three types of HMDs to conduct thermal comfort tests while doing light exercises. Thermal comfort was quantified by subjective rating and miniature data logger measurement. The results showed that wearing HMDs in motion caused more subjective thermal discomfort than in rest. Low airtightness of HMDs led to a lower increase in temperature and humidity inside the device in motion, yet it would also reduce the immersiveness of the VR experience due to light leakage. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the subjective discomfort level of the three types of devices. In order to improve the overall user experience, the development of HMDs should consider design tradeoffs in terms of materials, shape, finishing etc., maximizing user comfort while ensuring optimal audiovisual display effect.
