This study investigates the air movement preference of males and females after moderate-intensity exercise. 35 participants dressed in 0.6 clo exercised for 15 min in a room at 30 °C and then entered another room at 24 °C/26 °C/28 °C. During the experiment, participants were able to adjust the fan speed according to their own thermal comfort needs. The results indicate that after a change in metabolic rate, female prefer higher fan usage and greater air movement compared to males. When the body returns to thermal comfort, male have higher fan usage and prefer higher air movement than female. There were no difference in subjective evaluation and skin temperature between female and male. However, the skin evaporative heat loss of female was significantly lower than that of male. The correlation between air temperature, air speed and the time after entering the room tailored to the thermal requirements of distinct genders following moderate-intensity exercise has been established, which can provide a comprehensive control strategy for achieving both comfortable and energy-efficient thermal environments.

Metro stations, as essential public spaces, not only serve as vital transportation hubs but also form part of the broader built environment that shapes people's perceptions of insecurity. An important concern for passengers in these environments is safety, particularly in underground public space where the design and organization of the physical surroundings play a crucial role. Despite various modern renovations in older metro stations, newer stations are generally perceived as safer. To understand this discrepancy, this research compares how visual factors in the built environments of old and new metro stations influence people's perceptions of insecurity. By examining two cities—Milan and Beijing, which follow distinct urban development models—this research also explores how differences in urbanization processes affect the contrast between old and new stations. This research introduces a novel methodology for analyzing underground public space by integrating 360-degree image capture, an enhanced semantic segmentation process, and predictive modeling using XGBoost and SHAP to reveal the complex relationships between these visual factors and safety perceptions. The results indicate that while factors like artificial light, floor, and the presence of people are significant across all stations, certain factors are particularly influential in specific contexts—for example, exposed pipes are more negatively associated with safety perception in Beijing's old stations, and platform doors have a strongly positive effect in Milan's new stations. The findings provide valuable insights for guiding the modernization of metro stations in the future, and offering an innovative approach to studying underground public space.

Form-finding is a process in architectural design. Architects create and manipulate the morphology of a building by finding the form using digital tools and algorithms, such as machine learning. Recent research indicates that existing machine learning methods for architectural form-finding are not efficient for training and cannot generate multiple 3D forms under the constraints of users. Therefore, in this research, we develop a method to train and apply low-rank adaptation (LoRA) models in Stable Diffusion (SD) to generate 3D architectural forms based on morphological heat maps. Furthermore, the generated 3D forms can be directly used to precisely control the generation of realistic architectural renderings using pre-trained LoRA and SD models. In conclusion, our method can help architects generate 3D architectural models with consistent renderings. It can serve as a useful tool to improve efficiency and creativity in the architectural design practice of form-finding.

In planning and design, the concept of “place” has always been fundamental. Current patterns show a greater emphasis on influencing and improving community dynamics through altering the “experience” and “feeling” of locations, especially in local commercial centers and markets that play an important role in the economic growth of cities. The research focuses on the significance of placemaking, a critical component in design, for boosting economic activity in the market(s) and simultaneously fostering a place for social engagement and cohesion. A mixed-methods approach was employed to strengthen the connection between placemaking and the local informal economy in urban areas. This research through a case study outlines the placemaking principle that can convert local commercial areas into more socially cohesive, diverse, and vibrant public spaces. It is recommended that this design-based study be instrumental for local and national marketplaces in Pakistan.

Settlements serve as the tangible carriers of civilization, with historic urban blocks reflecting distinct cultural attributes that are essential for analyzing settlement types, exploring urban form characteristics, and refining spatial planning ideologies. Thus, this study focuses on the block as the fundamental morphological unit and introduces a structured research methodology from the typo-morphological perspective, comprising the following stages: Block Morphology Quantification, Block Pattern Types Extraction, Settlement Type Division, and Planning Ideology Discussion. This methodology can efficiently enhance the understanding of morphology and planning ideologies of heritage settlements by applying quantitative approaches to clustering settlements based solely on block pattern. For method validation, 37 typical colonial heritage settlements in the Americas is conducted as empirical study through the following process: first, quantifying block morphology; second, identifying block pattern types by K-means clustering; third, applying hierarchical clustering referring to the proportion of block pattern types within each case, resulting in the identification of four categories of “strategic core”, “corridor node”, “resource spot” and “overseas new town”; lastly, three key planning ideologies—“order”, “efficiency” and “practicality”—that shaped these settlements are derived from classification results accordingly. As empirical study result, the effectiveness of classifying heritage settlements using block patterns is validated.

Urban vacancy, often seen as a challenge, offers unique opportunities for ecological and social enhancements in cityscapes. This study explores the role of small green spaces in urban resilience, particularly in high-density metropolises, through a social-ecological lens. We began with a critical review to develop and validate a questionnaire, drawing on theoretical frameworks and confirming the derived criteria with twenty-two experts. Key resilience attributes identified for urban landscapes included flexibility, efficiency, activity, connectivity, and diversity. Utilizing the Best-Worst Method (BWM), we discerned the most and least significant of these attributes. The study then employed Hierarchical Bayes analysis via XLSTAT software to analyze questionnaire responses (n = 386, 60.36% female) and calculate the part-worth utility and importance ratings for each attribute. Results highlighted water presence, high tree density, and activity areas as vital attributes for small urban parks. These insights are crucial for landscape architects, emphasizing attributes that enhance park visitation and usability. Additionally, the innovative methodological approach of this study offers a new pathway for research in urban planning and the built environment.

Chengyang Eight Village is renowned as a gathering site for the Dong ethnic group and the most prominent area for wooden architecture. Drum tower is an extremely important representative of wooden architecture that can influence the economic and tourism development of the region, providing functions of public activities, communication, and ethnic identity. However, widespread issues such as damage, abandonment, or disappearance threaten drum towers, which are crucial spiritual centres for Dong villages. Despite the social and functional significance of drum towers, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of how people interact with them. This study aims to analyse Dong people's choice preferences in drum tower design, to examine the importance of 84 practices and influencing factors and propose a research path for study choice preferences. This study selected five villages among the Chengyang Eight Village as the research sites. Based on data from literature, field investigations, questionnaires and statistical analysis methods, this study analysed the choice preferences of local villagers regarding drum tower design. Five steps, 24 elements and 84 practices of drum towers were studied, and the impacts of the four influencing factors (Practicality, Economy, Decoration, and Belonging) on the three levels of the 84 practices were examined. Results showed that drum towers are a part of a complex, mutually reinforcing system where villagers and the towers mutually promote and influence each other. Villagers exhibited ambivalence towards drum tower design, navigating between deep-rooted traditions and evolving functional needs in contemporary contexts. Drawing on the Space-Behaviour Interaction Theory, this study examined the interaction between villagers and drum towers through a comprehensive approach of qualitative and quantitative methods, and established a research path for choice preferences. This study significantly enriches the discourse on minority village studies and traditional architecture, and provides valuable references for cultural heritage preservation and policy formulation.

Studies have shown that a well-designed urban environment can have the same stress-reducing capacity as the natural environment. This may provide an opportunity to improve population health. In this study, we used a combination of traditional interviews and biosensing techniques to simulate the effects of living streets on emotional states within the First Ring Road of Chengdu City, and then scientifically analyzed the health effects of street environments. Within the First Ring Road of Chengdu City, we extracted the characteristics of the street environment through real-life perception experiments, and extensively photographed and sampled the living streets in the main urban area of Chengdu City, and collected the Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals of the people when they viewed different street photographs, so as to analyze the correlation between the characteristics of the street environment and the mental health of the people. The results show that the environmental characteristics of living streets that affect people's psychological perception are: green looking ratio, motor vehicle presence rate, degree of walkability, environmental complexity, building enclosure, facility distribution rate, sky visibility, elevation permeability, slow-moving occurrences and color richness. Motor vehicle presence rate and environmental complexity had a significant positive correlation with boredom, elevation permeability had a significant positive correlation with engagement mood, green looking ratio and building enclosure had a significant positive correlation with interest mood, and environmental complexity had a significant negative correlation with interest mood.

The preservation of linear cultural heritage currently stands as a critical issue within the realm of global cultural heritage protection. The integration of cultural and ecological factors, as well as protection policies and implementation strategies, are facing great challenges. In 2019, the linear heritage “the Great Tea Route” was added to the Tentative List of China's World Cultural Heritage, underscoring its cultural and ecological significance. This study presents the construction of an expansive cultural and ecological corridor network across the Shanxi Province section of the route, employing morpho-spatial pattern analysis, the MaxEnt model, and the MCR model to effectively integrate cultural and ecological resources. And explores the establishment of cultural landscape nodes and the enhancement of cultural and ecological services, advocating a community co-construction model. This not only facilitates the development of a corridor-based economy but also addresses administrative challenges, thus promoting the preservation and management of cultural and ecological resources. The network developed comprises 43 cultural ecology points, 86 cultural source points, and 21 ecological sources, forming a foundation for the corridor's conservation and use. This study aims to provide new insights for the sustainable management of linear cultural heritage and promote the comprehensive protection of resources.

With the implementation of the “rural revitalization” strategy, many traditional villages face the challenges of renewal and revitalization. A scientific and effective understanding of these renovation strategies is crucial in the renewal design process. This study integrates eye-tracking technology and subjective evaluation methods to construct a research framework for assessing cognitive preferences regarding architectural renovation strategies in traditional villages. Three villages in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China—She Village, Lixiang Village, and Sujia Ideal Village—were selected as case studies. Subjective evaluation scores were obtained using a semantic differentiation (SD) questionnaire, and the weights of various evaluation dimensions were determined based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Eye-tracking experiments recorded subjects' observation processes of different remodeling spaces, producing focus heatmaps, areas of interest (AOI) maps, and corresponding eye movement data. The comprehensive analysis of these two aspects provides a more thorough understanding and evaluation of renovation strategies in traditional villages: (1) In architectural renovation, the most effective strategies are ranked as follows: block addition, facade renovation, juxtaposition of old and new, and overall reshaping.

{"title":"Cognitive preferences for architectural renovation strategies in traditional villages combining subjective evaluation and eye tracking","authors":"Yu Xing , Jiawei Leng , Haifei Zhou","doi":"10.1016/j.foar.2024.10.003","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.foar.2024.10.003","url":null,"abstract":"<div><div>With the implementation of the “rural revitalization” strategy, many traditional villages face the challenges of renewal and revitalization. A scientific and effective understanding of these renovation strategies is crucial in the renewal design process. This study integrates eye-tracking technology and subjective evaluation methods to construct a research framework for assessing cognitive preferences regarding architectural renovation strategies in traditional villages. Three villages in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China—She Village, Lixiang Village, and Sujia Ideal Village—were selected as case studies. Subjective evaluation scores were obtained using a semantic differentiation (SD) questionnaire, and the weights of various evaluation dimensions were determined based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Eye-tracking experiments recorded subjects' observation processes of different remodeling spaces, producing focus heatmaps, areas of interest (AOI) maps, and corresponding eye movement data. The comprehensive analysis of these two aspects provides a more thorough understanding and evaluation of renovation strategies in traditional villages: (1) In architectural renovation, the most effective strategies are ranked as follows: block addition, facade renovation, juxtaposition of old and new, and overall reshaping.
