The impact of architecturally qualified data in deep learning methods for the automatic generation of social housing layouts

The objective of this work is to explore the impact of the data in the automatic generation of social housing layouts with different deep learning models. The design of Social Housing is a subfield of architecture that necessitates, from the architect, a high degree of precision in refining layouts to effectively address both the programmatic requirements and the aspiration to attain the utmost architectural quality to guarantee inhabitants comfort. This dual challenge stands to gain significantly from the incorporation of data-driven generative processes bolstered by machine learning techniques in general and deep learning ones in particular. The most widely used dataset for data-driven layout generation with deep learning methods is RPLAN, a generic floor plan dataset available online. Although it contains a significant amount of plans, it lacks any information about the architectural quality criteria used for the selection of the data. We conducted an initial analysis of the architectural consistency and key quality features of RPLAN. Upon finding several issues that raise doubts about its suitability for training social housing generation models, we proceeded to create PUBLICPLAN, a new dataset based on proposals submitted and evaluated in public architecture competitions in Spain over the past three years. It comprises 2446 distinct layouts extracted from 1279 proposals in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. All of these layouts demonstrate high architectural standards. Then, we retrained the three most advanced existing models for generating interior plans using PUBLICPLAN and compared their performance to the same models trained with different subsets of RPLAN. Once the models were trained, we conducted several experiments comparing different models and data subsets and evaluating the impact of the quantity and quality of the data on the models' performance. Those experiments involved over two hundred architects and architecture students. We also examined the plausibility of the generated plans being synthetic with a survey asking to distinguish between human and machine generated layout plans. Our results showed that PUBLICPLAN had a significant impact compared to the alternatives with a similar number of cases. In the examination of the feasibility of human-generated plans, over 48.43% of architects and architecture students identified machine-generated plans as being of human origin. Moreover, in qualitative experiments conducted with an equivalent dataset, our qualified dataset PUBLICPLAN demonstrated a significantly superior human rating (72.13%) when evaluated by human assessors, as compared to models trained with RPLAN. This highlights the importance of using qualified datasets in deep learning for the generation of social housing layouts. We also identified challenges and priorities in the research field, both in the deep learning process and architectural design practices.

Rzeszow Castle: History and Contemporaneity - proposal for a new interior adaptation

Abstract This paper discusses the adaptation of Rzeszow Castle in Rzeszow, Poland (also called the Castle of the House of Lubomirski in Rzeszow), which is a key building on the Subcarpathia’s map of monuments. The objective of the project was to identify the latest trends in conservation art, and, subsequently, to create a proposal for a contemporary interior arrangement for the castle and its site development. The aforementioned design work focused on creating new, innovative concepts for the revalorization of historical buildings, oriented towards development and modernity. The work presents bold, novel – and most importantly – workable solutions for a new functional programme for Rzeszow Castle. The main premise of the future modification of the monument was a complete change of use of the building: from administrative and office space (the current court) to a cultural facility with complementary functions. The proposals presented in the paper are aligned with new principles of cultural environment preservation, and primarily emphasize ideas that facilitate the development of culture and art, social engagement, and support new initiatives. The aforementioned new functional programme complements cultural facilities and events offered by the city of Rzeszow - the capital of the Subcarpathia Voivodeship (one of Poland's sixteen provinces). The article is based on thorough scientific and historical research. The characteristics of the building are presented, with focus on its architectural value, and the current state of preservation of the monument is described. The analysis of the functional-utility program became the basis for creating a contemporary and modern interior design. The final version of the interior plan was developed based on field studies and source research.

Rancangan Renovasi Interior Panti Asuhan untuk Yayasan Arrahman, Yogyakarta

An orphanage is a foster home for individuals who do not have parents and need a place to live and foster parents. The Arrahman Foundation, based in Magelang as a social institution, has carried out various social activities and managed orphanages in Central Java. Community service activities began with the hope of the Arrahman Foundation to increase the number of foster children at the Yogyakarta branch of the orphanage. The orphanage's interior planning needs to support this hope, which can accommodate more foster children by always considering functional and aesthetic aspects. Therefore, the interior redesign is carried out as a Community Service activity to renovate the existing orphanage space with a new one with a more attractive and accommodating design. This interior redesign activity also provides direction and advice regarding interior design to the foundation's management so that it can be applied to other room renovations. The executor of the service, which was carried out online, involved three lecturers from the Faculty of Arts and Design, Maranatha Christian University, Bandung, with whom two Interior Design Undergraduate Program students assisted. The community service activities result in a better understanding of interior design, especially for institutions, and insight into ​​redesigning a building or room.

Мавританські мотиви у творчості академіка архітектури О. М. Бекетова

In the 18th – early 19th century, in the architecture of Europe, the fashion for Orientalism began to appear, but this process started to gain real strength in the second half of the 19th century during the spread of the so-called neo-styles. The certain creative tribute to the enthusiasm for oriental motives was given by the most famous Kharkiv architect – academician of architecture O. M. Beketov. In 1895–1910 he designed and built on his yard space in the village of Profesorskyi Kutochok (now a district of the Crimean city of Alushta) the complex of summer cottages by the sea in the eclectic style, but with the clear preference for the architectural forms of the oriental look. The center of its composition was the two-storey six-room manor house with the asymmetrical balcony (oriental-type veranda), open terrace, two loggias and compact interior plan system. In the same spirit, for his brother-in-law D. O. Alchevskyi, the artist made the project of the two-storey city mansion with the corridor-suite plan system, which was built in 1896–1897 in Kharkiv on Sadovo-Kulikivska Str., 7 (now Darvina Str., 13). Based on the historical and art history analysis, it can be confidently asserted that the buildings of O. M. Beketov’s dacha in Alushta and the city mansion of D. O. Alchevskyi in Kharkiv were built together using the techniques and forms of Moorish architecture of the 8th–13th centuries and Crimean Tatar architecture of the 14th–18th centuries. It is important that in the process of their design and construction, O. M. Beketov was able to create graceful, charming, almost fabulous architectural images in the best traditions of Morisca. The author creatively applied the plasticity of the architectural elements of the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain, the Giralda minaret in Seville, the Palacio de Pena in Sintra, Portugal, which bizarrely and, at the same time, organically harmonized with Iraqi, Crimean Tatar and purely European architectural forms. In addition, in his creations, O. M. Beketov significantly strengthened the eclecticism characteristic of Moorish architecture with elements of Art Nouveau, only adding modernity and extraordinary expressiveness to the architectural image of houses. The design and construction of these buildings for their time was carried out at the highest level, which makes it possible to confidently include them in the circle of the best old mansions of Alushta and Kharkiv. In addition, O. M. Beketov’s dacha is one of the important architectural dominants of Profesorskyi Kutochok, and D. O. Alchevskyi’s mansion, from the urban planning point of view, very successfully closes the perspective of Kulykovskyi Descent in Kharkiv. Both buildings are monuments of architecture, perform weighty urban planning functions, and need protection and periodic restoration.

Application of an adapted FMEA framework for robot-inclusivity of built environments

Mobile robots are deployed in the built environment at increasing rates. However, lack of considerations for a robot-inclusive planning has led to physical spaces that would potentially pose hazards to robots, and contribute to an overall productivity decline for mobile service robots. This research proposes the use of an adapted Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) as a structured tool to evaluate a building’s level of robot-inclusivity and safety for service robot deployments. This Robot-Inclusive FMEA (RIFMEA) framework, is used to identify failures in the built environment that compromise the workflow of service robots, assess their effects and causes, and provide recommended actions to alleviate these problems. The method was supported with a case study of deploying telepresence robots in a university campus. The study concluded that common failures were related to poor furniture design, a lack of clearance and hazard indicators, and sub-optimal interior planning.

Especially, in the aspect of residence, the existing human-centered residential space shows various problems with enjoying such pleasant life with companion animals. Thus, it would be necessary to research/apply various elements of housing plan for coexisting with companion animals, pet owners, and neighbors(pet owners or non-pet owners), seeking for the quality of mentally/physically-healthy life, and forming the pleasant residential environment without any conflicts with neighbors. Thus, this study established the elements of companion animal-friendly housing plan specialized in apartment housing by analyzing the cases of companion animal-friendly apartment housing, and then analyzed the characteristics and types. As a result, the elements of companion animal-friendly housing plan were classified into interior planning, outdoor planning, and facility planning, and the interior planning elements were more than half, so the consideration of interior planning was handled as important. Also, classifying the elements of companion animal-friendly housing plan following the order of importance, they were divided into four essential elements, necessary elements, and selective elements. Lastly, the types of companion animal-friendly apartment housing plan were classified into companion animal consideration type, resident convenience type, and community reinforced type, and then the characteristics of each type were analyzed. Such results of classifying the elements/types of companion animal-friendly apartment housing plan, and analyzing the consequential characteristics could be used as the theoretical basis of various relevant researches on interior design, furniture, and facilities in the future.

Disruption of IoT in Adapting Online Learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic

When it comes to education, the COVID-19 epidemic has had a major effect, particularly on distance learning techniques that must be completed online. It also applies to Architecture and Interior Design students in the planning and design studio lecture activities, which were formerly carried out offline in the studio but are now required to be carried out online from their individual residences, as part of the online learning methodology. Various difficulties encountered in architectural and interior planning, as well as design studio lectures, need students' adaptation via the use of virtual reality and digital technology. There are numerous restrictions in terms of visual and digital communication, ranging from the use of technical equipment to the facilities held by lecturers and students. The research used a qualitative descriptive approach, in which data was gathered via questionnaires, with the respondents being architecture and interior design students who answered the questions. According to the findings of the research, the adaptation of online lectures is not only a virtual and digital issue, but also a physical and non-physical one that requires consideration. When it comes to architectural and interior planning and design studio courses, virtual and digital changes have an impact on the learning process and the quality of learning results. Physical adaptation necessitates the provision of supporting resources in the form of tools and equipment to aid in the delivery of classroom lectures. Non-physical adaptation includes changes in time, patterns and methods of learning, behavior, psychology, and the internet network, as well as changes in the internet network itself. In future studies, it is necessary to do more in-depth study on behavioral and psychological adjustments and perspectives.

A Point Cloud Vector Tracing Algorithm for Automatic Drawing of Interior Plan

Objectives According to the spatial attitude characteristics of the indoor walls, a point cloud vector tracking algorithm for automatically drawing the indoor plan was proposed. Methods Firstly, the indoor wall point cloud with a certain thickness was intercepted and projected onto the horizontal plane, and square grids were established on the projection plane. The plane points after projection were segmented and managed, and the point cloud in every grid was clustered by the eight neighborhood algorithm. Then the grid center of gravity method was used to generate sparse points, which were tracked and sorted according to the distance between points in the neighborhood and the angle of connection vector. The vector sequence of tracking direction was established, and the point cloud segmentation of different walls was completed combined with mutation of angle between adjacent values in the vector sequence. Finally, the least squares algorithm was used to fit the line of the same wall point cloud, and the intersection point of the adjacent wall line was obtained. Results The plane projection line segment of the house wall and its spatial connection relationship were established. The wall projection line segment was output in sequence. The drawing of the house plan was completed and the DXF format data exchange file was exported. Conclusions The proposed algorithm was verified by the analysis of indoor scanning data of a residential building. The results show that the proposed algorithm can accurately and quickly analyzed and processed the indoor laser scanning point cloud, and completed the drawing of interior plan.

On detour index of cycloparaphenylene and polyphenylene molecular structures

Cycloparaphenylene is a particle that comprises a few benzene rings associated with covalent bonds in the para positions to frame a ring-like structure. Similarly, poly (para-phenylenes) are macromolecules that include benzenoid compounds straightforwardly joined to each other by C–C bonds. Because of their remarkable architectural highlights, these structures have fascinated attention from numerous vantage focuses. Descriptors are among the most fundamental segments of prescient quantitative structure-activity and property relationship (QSAR/QSPR) demonstrating examination. They encode chemical data of particles as quantitative numbers, which are utilized to create a mathematical correlation. The nature of a predictive model relies upon great demonstrating insights, yet additionally on the extraction of compound highlights. To a great extent, Molecular topology has exhibited its adequacy in portraying sub-atomic structures and anticipating their properties. It follows a two-dimensional methodology, just thinking about the interior plan, including molecules. Explicit subsets speak the design of every atom of topological descriptors. When all around picked, these descriptors give a unique method of describing an atomic system that can represent the most significant highlights of the molecular structure. Detour index is one such topological descriptor with much application in chemistry, especially in QSAR/QSPR studies. This article presents an exact analytical expression for the detour index of cycloparaphenylene and poly (para-phenylene).

Efficient rail vehicle design – common designing mistakes and options for improvements

To be "competitive" as a railway, operational efficiency is a must. This is often subordinated to other essential aspects, such as practicality, in the context of rail vehicle interior planning. In practice, this leads to the opposite of the desired result. Misunderstood operational efficiency concepts such as maximum use of space for sitting can actually lead to a decrease in operational efficiency, operational problems and incidents with serious safety risks. In practice, the attempt to maximise the number of seats on the train leads to fewer available seats due to a lack of space for luggage accommodation and, at the same time, to a longer passenger exchange time.

Data-driven interior plan generation for residential buildings

We propose a novel data-driven technique for automatically and efficiently generating floor plans for residential buildings with given boundaries. Central to this method is a two-stage approach that imitates the human design process by locating rooms first and then walls while adapting to the input building boundary. Based on observations of the presence of the living room in almost all floor plans, our designed learning network begins with positioning a living room and continues by iteratively generating other rooms. Then, walls are first determined by an encoder-decoder network, and then they are refined to vector representations using dedicated rules. To effectively train our networks, we construct RPLAN - a manually collected large-scale densely annotated dataset of floor plans from real residential buildings. Intensive experiments, including formative user studies and comparisons, are conducted to illustrate the feasibility and efficacy of our proposed approach. By comparing the plausibility of different floor plans, we have observed that our method substantially outperforms existing methods, and in many cases our floor plans are comparable to human-created ones.
