Private Shrines: Domestic Experiences of Surrealism in Three Italian Interiors from the Early 1970s

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of private spaces. As a result, the link between Surrealism and domesticity has gained new relevance. In this essay, Di Domenico explores the impact of surrealist artworks exhibited inside collectors' homes focusing on three case studies: three Italian rooms from the early 1970s featuring artworks by Man Ray and René Magritte. Photographs of these rooms were featured in popular art and interior design magazines such as Domus, Casa Vogue , and BolaffiArte . By analyzing how surrealist artworks functioned within the bathroom of the Agnelli family, the "playroom" of actress Sophia Loren, and the bedroom of gallery owner Luciano Anselmino, the author examines the impact of surrealist works in domestic settings, the role of gender dynamics in the construction of personal identity through collecting, the reception of Surrealism in Italy, and its relationship with interior and product design. By delving into the biographies of the collectors, he offers insights into the role, function, and significance of the surrealist artworks they chose to display in their most intimate spaces: their private shrines.

Clothing image attribute editing based on generative adversarial network, with reference to an upper garment

PurposeNowadays, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has demonstrated extensive applications in the field of art design. Attribute editing is an important means to realize clothing style and color design via computer language, which aims to edit and control the garment image based on the specified target attributes while preserving other details from the original image. The current image attribute editing model often generates images containing missing or redundant attributes. To address the problem, this paper aims for a novel design method utilizing the Fashion-attribute generative adversarial network (AttGAN) model was proposed for image attribute editing specifically tailored to women’s blouses.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed design method primarily focuses on optimizing the feature extraction network and loss function. To enhance the feature extraction capability of the model, an increase in the number of layers in the feature extraction network was implemented, and the structure similarity index measure (SSIM) loss function was employed to ensure the independent attributes of the original image were consistent. The characteristic-preserving virtual try-on network (CP_VTON) dataset was used for train-ing to enable the editing of sleeve length and color specifically for women’s blouse.FindingsThe experimental results demonstrate that the optimization model’s generated outputs have significantly reduced problems related to missing attributes or visual redundancy. Through a comparative analysis of the numerical changes in the SSIM and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) before and after the model refinement, it was observed that the improved SSIM increased substantially by 27.4%, and the PSNR increased by 2.8%, serving as empirical evidence of the effectiveness of incorporating the SSIM loss function.Originality/valueThe proposed algorithm provides a promising tool for precise image editing of women’s blouses based on the GAN. This introduces a new approach to eliminate semantic expression errors in image editing, thereby contributing to the development of AI in clothing design.

Research on the Construction and Application of Rural Digital Design Ecosystem under the “Dual Carbon” Goal—Take the Carbon Sequestration Benefits of Street Trees in Nanjing’s Bulao Village as an Example

By constructing a rural digital design ecosystem, this paper develops ecological villages through design empowerment, enhances the carbon sequestration benefits of plants in rural areas, and strengthens rural vitality. Combined with the carbon sequestration benefits of street trees in Bulao Village in Nanjing, the feasibility of the digital design ecosystem in rural planning was verified, and the ways and methods of rural environmental renewal were explored. Through the existing literature, the possibility of constructing a digital design ecosystem was deduced, the theoretical framework was derived, field research was carried out in the village of Bulao, the carbon sequestration benefit of street trees was quantified by the i-Tree model, and a structure chart of street trees, including breast diameter, tree height, type, etc., was formed. There were 35 species of street trees in Bulao Village, belonging to 33 genera in 22 families, including 19 species of trees, a total of 312 trees, and 16 species of shrubs. The street trees’ total carbon sink benefit was equivalent to RMB 30,327.47, a single street tree’s average carbon sequestration benefit was RMB 96.86, and the average CO2 absorption was 164.64 kg. The average CO2 absorption and single benefit of elm trees were the highest, reaching 465.48 kg·plant−1 and 186.81 RMB·plant−1, respectively. The CO2 absorption (185.13 kg) and the average benefit per plant (RMB 109.48) of the camphor tree were lower than those of the elm. However, because their number far exceeded that of elms, their total carbon sequestration benefit contribution was the highest, reaching RMB 25,837.28, accounting for 85.19% of the total benefit. In addition, the contribution rates of elm and willow’s total annual carbon sequestration benefits were also relatively high, reaching RMB 747.24 and RMB 710.04, respectively, accounting for 2.46% and 2.34% of the total benefits. This paper uses the digital design ecosystem’s theoretical framework to quantify street trees’ carbon sequestration benefits through field research. It optimizes and improves the plant allocation of parking lots in Bulao Village from the ecology and carbon sink perspectives. Practice shows that inheriting the connotation values of rural culture, improving the quality of the rural environment, and increasing residents’ and tourists’ sense of belonging and identity to the countryside are conducive to jointly promoting sustainable rural development against the background of “dual carbon”. Combining art design with quantitative scientific methods of ecological environment indicators provides a reference for future rural development.
