Religious Inflection in the Economy of Experience: The Concept of Atmosphere in Aesthetic and Phenomenological Thought of Hermann Schmitz and Gernot Böhme

The article offers a brief genealogy of the concept of atmosphere in the thought of Hermann Schmitz (New Phenomenology) and Gernot Böhme (Aesthetic Theory) to show that the concept takes on a quasi-religious appearance, especially in its design and economic applications. It is shown how a phenomenological concept of religious origin could become a pseudo-psychological marketing strategy. The article argues that the concept of atmosphere should not be applied too exclusively to the design of (interior) spaces, but that the sociality of atmospheres should also be taken into account. In this way, attention can be drawn to the manipulative power of the atmospheric.

Classification of Art Objects in the Context of Interior Space Design

The aim of the article is to establish the main categories for classifying art objects with the definition and study of their characteristics regarding the visual and functional impact on the design of interior space, taking into account both traditional and modern trends. Research methods include comparative analysis, field survey, description, systematization and generalization, as well as the results of many years of creative project practice. The scientific novelty lies in the proposed classification of art objects to create a coherent system in terms of its use in the design of interior space. The results of the research are based on the analysis of examples of modern art and project practice. Conclusions. In the process of research, a classification of art objects was created according to six basic categories, which allow tracking the peculiarities of the functioning of a certain art object in the interior. The first of the categories considered the distinction by types of art, according to which it was determined that in relation to traditional types of art, the art object functions, complementing the general artistic concept of the interior, establishing a figurative connection with its space; instead, correlated with modern forms of art, the art object acquires features and a way of functioning of non-traditional arts with modern means of expression, technologies and materials. The second category of division is by function: the predominance of the utilitarian function in an art object allows its introduction as a constructive element of the interior or equipment; while the predominance of the aesthetic function can state the decorative use of the art object. The third category of dividing art objects is by size: large-sized art objects are designed for perception in a sufficiently large space from a long distance; small-sized art objects are designed for perception from a close distance in smaller rooms. The fourth category is based on the form of expression: the realistic form is based on images that correspond to nature and gives the interior space a traditional character; instead, the abstract form with the use of non-realistic means of expression endows the interior space with features of modernity and uncertain content. The fifth category of division is by style: accordingly, the modern style of art objects involves involvement in various currents and directions of modern art, and the means of expression change the traditional appearance of space and its filling; instead, traditional stylistics uses classical forms and means of expression characteristic of known historical trends. The sixth category of division is based on materials: art objects with the use of traditional materials reveal the specificity and structure corresponding to nature, and in the visual perception of the interior space, they give it comprehensibility, basicity and reliability; instead, modern materials allow you to create new forms in the interior space with the help of art objects.

The impact of visitor attributes on the spatial experience in exhibition halls with background music

The exhibition hall is public architectural space with diverse forms, which serves as an exceptional research environment for investigating spatial experience. As a potent auditory stimulus capable of evoking emotions effectively, music exerts influence on behavioral responses in different contexts. However, the existing literature on interior space design rarely integrates soundscape considerations. Therefore, this study aims to explore the impact of tourist attributes-such as music learning experience, listening frequency, exhibition visiting motivation, personality traits, and neuroticism-on spatial experiences based on music perception and interior layouts. The background music is categorized into five sound conditions based on mode and tempo: no music, medium tempo in major, medium tempo in minor, fast tempo in major, and slow tempo in major. Meanwhile, the exhibition space is classified into four categories according to its interior layout: axis space, scale contrast space, shape contrast space, and flow space. The result shows that in different spatial environment with different music background, tourist attributes have different effects on the subjective spatial perception.

Artistic sense of interior design and space planning based on human machine intelligent interaction

The rapid development of artificial intelligence technology is gradually penetrating into multiple fields such as interior design and spatial planning. The aim of this study is to integrate artificial intelligence with interior design, enhance design artistry and user experience, and address the interactive needs of interior space design choices. A set of indoor space design recognition system has been designed by introducing artificial intelligence networks and attention mechanisms. This study first optimizes the CenterNet algorithm based on attention mechanism and feature fusion to improve its accuracy in identifying complex components. Afterwards, the long short-term memory network and convolutional neural network are trained to complete the task of spatial layout feature recognition and design. The performance test results showed that after testing 100 images, the software could recognize indoor design space images and create corresponding vector format space maps in about 5 minutes, providing them to the 3D modeling interface to generate 3D scenes. Compared to the approximately 25 minutes required by manual methods, the design efficiency has been significantly improved. The research and design method has a fast convergence speed and low loss during the retraining process. In simulation testing, its mAP value reached 91.0%, higher than similar models. It performs better in detecting walls, doors and windows, bay windows, double doors, and two-way doors. Moreover, it has outstanding ability when facing structures such as short walls and door corners, and can recognize and create vector format spatial maps within 5 minutes, which is accurate and efficient. The system designed in this project has optimized the interaction between designers and clients in interior design, accurately capturing user intentions and assisting designers in improving work efficiency.

Unraveling the Spatial Dimensions of Disease Outbreaks: Implications for the Future of Third Places—A Scoping Review

Third places are vital social spaces, outside the typical workplace and living environment, that facilitate meaningful interactions and contribute to an individual’s sense of community and well-being. Nevertheless, during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, safety requirements led to the closure of many third places, disrupting socialization, and limiting the positive impact these spaces typically have on people’s lives. This recent global experience highlighted the need for interior design approaches to create more adaptable third places. Through this review, we aimed to explore the evolving influence of different disease outbreaks on the design of interior spaces, focusing on third places and similar communal environments. Emphasis was on exploring interior design approaches employed to reduce transmission risks, ultimately enhancing the resilience and sustainability of these spaces. A scoping review of the literature was conducted, adhering to the framework established by Arksey and O’Malley. Using content identifiers and a detailed flowchart, we found five themes: (a) flexibility through scalability and reconfiguration; (b) fluid circulation and optimized wayfinding; (c) natural ventilation and indoor–outdoor connection; (d) infection control by material selection and design; and (e) integration of technology. By highlighting these approaches, strategies for creating sustainable, resilient, and unobstructed third places are reviewed post-pandemic to ensure social and overall well-being continuity.

AN ASSESSMENT OF PARADIGM SHIFT IN PEOPLE’S PRIORITIES TOWARD INTERIOR DESIGNING OF SPACE DURING THE PANDEMIC OUTBREAK

This investigation surfaces a thought of change in peoples’ priorities toward Interior design of space during the Pandemic outbreak. It re-examines the issues that influenced the change in the overall arrangement of a physical space. Five constructs were identified to validate the paradigm shift in peoples’ approach to dealing with spatial areas specifically in housing during the pandemic outbreak. The research study has shown a strong paradigm shift in the resident’s approach to the interior design of housing. The research study also discusses about the issues faced while stay at home during COVID-19, spatial layout during the pandemic, the utility of space during the pandemic, and targeting to achieve the required resilience through design implications. There were 404 participants considered in the structured questionnaire survey where the snowball sample technique to distribute among the policymakers, planners, architects, interior designers, and general citizens, from various residential areas in the Chandigarh Capital Region (CCR) i.e., Chandigarh, Mohali, and Panchkula who responded on varied issues faced during COVID-19.The outlook of people’s approach and interior design community to post-COVID has offered a new opportunity to re-look at the spatial arrangement of interior space. The residential dwelling units that were earlier considered for relaxation, safety, and storage are now considered for online classes, office work, play areas, recreation, and exercise areas. The post-COVID-19 era has changed the outlook of habitable space by providing a new thought process to visualize a spatial layout uniquely, which may further full-fill multiple interests at the same time.The research study not only focuses on residential dwelling units but also on the way people used their spaces and issues faced. Lack of proper spaces for classes, meetings, office works and other interested have changed the outlook people have perceive their spaces. And spaces during Covid-19 era have offered a fresh opportunity to rethink the design of any habitable space. Spaces with better adaptability, natural light, ventilation, and open spaces may have more potential of resilience than the space having poor ventilation, dingy and no open spaces. Clearly, in the research people of underprivileged were more susceptible to Covid infection and their recovery period may be longer as compared to the people living in planned and spaces residential dwelling units.

Interior Space Design and Modelling Methods for Smart Homes - Integrating BIM and VR Technologies

Abstract In this study, the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies with performance analysis software facilitates the selection of optimal indoor space layouts for settlement buildings. This is achieved through the use of information modeling and visualization tools to assess various aspects such as sunlight exposure, lighting conditions, architectural parameters, and energy consumption across different building layouts. A virtual environment was created using BIM and VR, within which the collision detection algorithm was refined using a chime-playing test scenario to enhance the quality control of 3D models. At 5000 triangular slices, the detection algorithm optimized in this study demonstrated a real-time performance that is 19 milliseconds faster than that of the comparative algorithm. Furthermore, in scenarios involving micro-speed air exchange, an open window area of 30 square meters facilitated an air volume of 250,168, indicating both economic and practical benefits. The overall satisfaction with interior design and spatial arrangement achieved through BIM and VR integration consistently exceeds 80%, underscoring the synergistic potential and future-oriented trajectory of combining these technologies.

Growable design of passenger vehicle interior space based on FAHP and FQFD.

The increasingly shortened development cycle of smart vehicles has led to a qualitative shift in the nature of automotive products. Growing spatial design of vehicle interiors can effectively satisfy users' personalisation preferences and increase their willingness to buy, as well as mitigating the environmental pollution caused by the problem of rapid replacement. Considering the subjectivity and uncertainty of users' emotional needs, this study adopts the FAHP method to comprehensively analyse and rank the SET series of factors, then combines the grey correlation method with the correlation analysis of the areas related to the interior space of the automobile, constructs the sample of the interior space of the automobile and extracts the kansei words of the space sample. Intentional vocabulary mean scores were calculated to factor analyses through kansei engineering, next the fuzzy QFD quality house was built to make affective semantic design associations and derive design weights, which are then used to guide the design and ultimately realise the design of a dynamic automotive interaction scenario. The results of the study show that the integration of different theories can reduce the uncertainties in accessing users' emotional needs. At the same time, it can provide systematic guidance for the interaction design of a growable automobile in terms of multiple dimensions of interior space connectivity, spatial layout, and perceptual experience, as well as provide valuable suggestions for the subsequent development of interior spaces.

Exploring the connection between landscape art and interior and exterior space design using gray correlation analysis

Abstract In-depth research on landscape art interrelating with interior and exterior space design is still relatively limited. In this paper, we use gray correlation analysis to investigate the connection between landscape art and indoor and outdoor space design to better understand and apply the potential of landscape art in design. In this paper, we investigate the application of landscape art in indoor and outdoor space design, including the Use of landscape gardening techniques and landscape formation types. The study constructed an evaluation index system, including 16 indicators for road landscape, site landscape, green landscape and other types of landscapes, which were screened and weighted according to systematicity, operability, participation, dynamism and the combination of qualitative and quantitative indicators. We used AHP to determine the indicators’ weights and gray correlation analysis to calculate comprehensive scores for different design solutions. The best indoor and outdoor design solutions were determined by comparing and ranking the evaluations of various design solutions through case studies and statistical analysis. The method facilitates the scientific assessment and selection of indoor and outdoor design solutions to enhance the quality of design and the comfort of the human environment.

Evolution of interior space design criteria on the quality of urban environment: Literature review

Efforts to increase the quality of this environment have been going on since the beginning of the concern for shelter in the history of humanity. The main targets of the user, designers, practitioners, and decision-makers are to carry the quality of life, health, safety, and welfare of individuals and other living things to the next level. Problems have been identified to increase the function and quality of the space, spatial requirements have been determined, and researched, and some design factors have been determined to reach the most appropriate solution. The researchers focused on the proposition that the effectiveness of these factors before and during the design process would increase the quality of the space. However, since research generally focuses on indoor quality, the outdoor quality factors that are part of urban design are not clear. This work, was designed to evaluate the usability of these factors, which were determined and measured especially to deal with the interior, in designs at larger scales (street, neighborhood, city…) and to improve the existing. In designs outside the spatial scale, where almost all factors can be controlled by the relevant stakeholders of the process, the subject is approached through changeable and unchangeable parameters and their balancing. Studies on the factors determined during the process were compiled and their effects on different scales were evaluated as a result of these compilations. As a result of the evaluation, some suggestions were given. In the process of redesigning the space, selecting feasible suggestions, and incorporating them into the creation of the future physical space, using the suggestions as urban rehabilitation tools, and considering these interventions to be flexible and suitable for various factors are of great importance for the psychology of the users.

Intelligent design of display space layout based on two-stage deep learning network

In an age of big data and information overload, recommendation systems have evolved rapidly. Throughout the traditional design of interior spaces, the specialised nature of the work and the high rate of human involvement has led to high costs. With the continuous development of artificial intelligence technology, it provides a favourable environment for reducing the development cost of the system. This study proposes a two-stage modelling scheme based on deep learning networks for the intelligent design of display space layouts, divided into two parts: matching and layout, which greatly improves design efficiency. The research results show that through comparison tests, its prediction accuracy reaches more than 80%, which can well meet the matching requirements of household products. The training number of Epochs is between 15 and 30, its training curve tends to saturate and the best accuracy can reach 100%, while the running time of the hybrid algorithm proposed in this study is only 20.716 s, which is significantly better compared with other algorithms. The proposed hybrid algorithm has a running time of only 20.716 s, which is significantly better than other algorithms. The approach innovatively combines deep learning technology with computer-aided design (CAD), enabling designers to automatically generate display space layouts with good visibility and usability based on complex design constraints. This study presents an innovative application of the research methodology by combining quantitative and qualitative methods to analyse the data. The application of both methods provides a more comprehensive understanding of the problem under study and provides insight into the key factors that influence the results. The findings of this study can provide useful insights for policy makers and practitioners.

ADVANCED SOLAR SHADING METHODOLOGIES IN APPLIED BUILDING SCIENCES

The study examines the typological, physical and applicative composition of the solar shading within the evolved scenario of architecture and buildings, with respect to the way in which they function with respect to thermal, light and airborne stresses, determining the elaboration criteria aimed at both “selective” environmental control and “dynamic” interaction and as “environmental filters”: this affirming the protective and reactive capacity of the shielding devices (also with the regulation of functional supports, “passive” or “active”, fixed or variable) to changes in climatic conditions. The development, production and execution of functional devices combined with the window surfaces of the building envelope (for windows and for façade systems) takes on, in the contemporary scenario, the methodologies and procedures related both to the environmental and ergonomic design of interior spaces, and to the energy calibration and containment of consumption due to technical systems. At the same time, the functional devices combined with the glazed surfaces participate in the overall morpho-typological composition of the architecture, according to the application and expression of the “equipment” capable of regulating the incidence of the solar radiation and light conditions.
