Floorplan embedding with latent semantics and human behaviour

Image
Data science, in conjunction with architecture and human psychology, is opening new avenues within the field of reformed interior design, where created spaces are aesthetically pleasing yet deeply tuned to the needs and behaviors of their occupants. One such novelty involves floor plan embedding, where the design process integrates latent semantics and human behavior. This is a higher-order computational technique that maps relationships between various spatial elements and how they interact in relation to people interacting with their environment. What is Floorplan Embedding? Floorplan embedding refers to a method of taking the notions of machine learning and data visualization and applying them to the layout of interior space. In other words, it is a way of visualizing the elements of a floor plan-such as rooms, hallways, doors, and windows-as vectors in a multidimensional space. These vectors capture the latent semantics-meaning hidden-of the design, encoding relationships and funct...

Urban design process

The Urban Design Process: Building the Cities of Tomorrow Urban design is critical to the taming of the cities we are living in. The urban design controls everything from street layout and public space, to infrastructure included, and generally, the aesthetic makeup of the whole urban environment. Urban design is more of a structured yet creative process targeting the forming of a sustainable, functional, and beautiful city to meet the needs of residents. Herewith is the general outline of the major stages involved in the process of urban design. 1. Contextual Analysis Urban design designates that the process shall begin with profound understanding of the context in which the project will take place. This involves studying the physical features, social, economic, and environmental aspects of the area in question. Designers study the built environment of a place, from street layout to buildings and natural features, through demographic data and community needs. This initial step gives d...

Interior design challenges in a pod

Interior Design Challenges in a Pod: Creating Functional and Aesthetic Micro-Spaces The pod living concept has struck a chord in resonance with the current restructuring of spaces brought about by urbanization, a growing population, and the need for sustainable living. A pod can be understood to be small and compact unitary living spaces intended to reduce space with reduced environmental footprints. This kind of microspace has posed unique challenges and opportunities for interior designers in devising functionally comfortable and aesthetic environments within very minimal square footage. UNDERSTANDING THE POD CONCEPT Pods may manifest in various ways: micro-appartments, tiny homes, modular units, and portable shelters. If there is one defining characteristic of a pod, it is that it should be small; therefore, space planning and design must be very aware. Most of the time, pods are designed for particular purposes such as student housing, temporary housing, or minimalist living - when...

Interior spaces and layers of meaning

Interior Spaces and Layers of Meaning: Crafting Stories Through Design More than a physical and functional environment, space is a story that begs to be narrated. The rooms, corners, and every other element in a space keep piling together to tell something about the identity, culture, and aspirations of the inhabitants. All these layers of meaning come into being through intelligent placing of furniture, color and texture, and material used in a space, complemented with art and decor. It can evoke emotions, inspire creativity, and even create a sense of belonging in the best-designed interior. THE LANGUAGE OF INTERIOR SPACES Similar to a novel using words to unfold its story, interior design uses the means of light, color, texture, and form to communicate meaning and feel. The configuration of the space may specify our methods of passing through it, while the choice of materials one makes evokes tactile sensations. A room in warm wood tones and soft lighting may exude coziness and invi...

Semantics and aesthetic interaction with design objects

Image
  UNDERSTANDING THE LANGUAGE OF DESIGN Within the domain of design everything has a voice. Design objects like a stylish mobile device, an ergonomic seat, or a beautiful flower vase, come alive in their design, purpose and overall visual appeal. This kind of communication, which goes by the name semantics of design, is not merely concerned with the form, but with the internal and external engagement of these items with users. Aesthetic interaction has assumed tertiary importance to this type of engagement, wherein the user connects with the specific object of design on an emotional, or even physical, level. These concepts work well range and nuance, as fundamental, and utility-oriented, utility – these concepts work well together in time. UNDERSTANDING SEMANTICS IN DESIGN Design semantics is a term describing meaning expressed by form, material, color, and other attributes of an object. It's about how an object speaks to us and what it tells us about its purpose, function, and iden...
