AbstractMachine learning models can potentially provide alternative options in the field of architecture as aesthetic judgment tools, owing to their high capacity and data-driven environments. If a machine learning model can produce aesthetic evaluation results similar to those of humans, the process may be highly promising for further applications in architectural decision-making. In this study, we propose a series of interconnected workflows for a rigorous comparison, including data collection, machine learning, parametric designs, robotic fabrication, and human surveys, to test the compatibility between human judgment and machine learning models in the aesthetic assessment of architectural objects on the same design objects. We observed a wide gap between the aesthetic judgments of the two groups. We discuss certain drawbacks and current limitations to improve the vulnerability of the study process and conclude by providing an outlook for the subsequent direction of a similar study.KEYWORDS: Deep learningTeachable Machineparametric designrobotic fabricationhuman judgement surveyaesthetic assessment Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author, upon reasonable request.Additional informationFundingThis study was supported by the Basic Science Research Program of the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF), funded by the Ministry of Education (NRF-2021R1A2C1093869).

Inclusive Design has been widely promoted in the fields of product, engineering, and user experience design. Despite the educational efforts made by scientists, practitioners, and institutions to raise awareness about accessibility and inclusion, Inclusive Design has not been widely embraced in architectural design practice, where it is often associated with design for disability. This multidisciplinary study, spanning behavioural science, ergonomics, and the social sciences of architecture, explores the challenges architectural design practitioners face when designing inclusively, and identifies opportunities to promote the adoption of Inclusive Design. The results of a questionnaire completed by 114 architectural design practitioners underscore the lack of client awareness of the benefits of inclusive design, highlight the important role practitioners can play in advocating for Inclusive Design, and emphasize the need to develop practices and tools that enhance the design and post-design phases of buildings to ensure inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility.

AbstractRecent studies showed that deep learning techniques and image processing can identify the distinguishing design principles in architectural façades. However, predicting the strength of a principle is still a challenging task, as it requires a huge amount of annotated design variations. The difficulties in both searching such big numbers of data – and its labelling by experts – slow down the research. This paper proposes a computation approach for obtaining this type of data faster. With the help of parametric modelling and evolutionary algorithms, we could manipulate the design elements, and thereby generate different solutions. An integrated fuzzy logic decision mechanism could enable to carry human knowledge in the judging and labelling of alternatives automatically. The final synthetic data developed from real building images could be used for machine learning applications to enhance our understanding of artistic expression.KEYWORDS: Façade designVisual design principlesFuzzy LogicParametric modellingData generationAutomated labelling AcknowledgementThe author wishes to thank Sinem Kırkan and Tuğrul Agrikli for their valuable support in modelling and visualization parts.

AbstractAs a significant variable related to individual differences, gender affects people’s attitudes and perceptions. The main concern of this study is to investigate the importance of gender in the architectural design process. To this end, it measures architectural perception using neuroscientific measurement tools such as fMRI and objectively examines how the brains of men and women respond to the built environment. A survey experiment was conducted to determine differences between the measurement of spatial features in men and women. The fMRI results showed a significant gender difference between the neural activation of the brain areas involved in architectural perception. In support of the brain imaging results, the survey experiment indicated that women perceive an architectural setting and its visual elements in greater detail than men. In contrast, men rate three-dimensional perception and mental visualization significantly better and pay more attention to it than women.KEYWORDS: Neurosciencearchitectural stimulibrain areasbrain activationgenderperceptionfMRI AcknowledgmentI would like to express my undying gratitude to all the volunteer participants who assisted me in this study.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

COVID-19 has dramatically changed the way we use and view space across all sectors, including those servicing survivors of violence against women (VAW). The increase in prevalence and severity of VAW during this pandemic impacted an emergency residential shelter system that, in many jurisdictions, was chronically underfunded; the compounding effects of COVID-19 restrictions, such as bed capacity reductions and physical distancing requirements, significantly influenced how shelter space could be applied to support women and children experiencing violence. Using interpretive description methodology, 26 interviews were conducted with shelter staff, eight with women accessing shelter services, and five focus groups with 24 organizational leaders of VAW services in Ontario, Canada to understand the use of shelter spaces during the pandemic. Two main themes were identified in the data and explored: (1) are spaces working?; and (2) to change or not change a facility’s architectural configuration? Implications and recommendations for VAW shelter space design are discussed.
