Assessment of artificial intelligence-generatedFrom manual to autonomous: A literature review of GenAI integration levels for design education
Generative AI (GenAI) is increasingly integrated into design education to boost creativity and productivity. However, the integration of GenAI into design workflows occurs at varying levels, ranging from manual to autonomous use. This variability remains insufficiently understood, raising concerns that some learners may over-rely on GenAI while others may fail to take full advantage of GenAI. To bridge this gap, this study reviews 116 peer-review…
Human cognition and emotions for human-centred design in vertical interior urban spaces
Understanding the socio-psychological impact of living in high-rise, densely populated urban areas is essential for evaluating the quality of interior urban spaces within vertical urbanism, a field commonly known as ‘Urbanology’. This area combines urban psychology, anthropology and social science, often utilizing empirical methods such as surveys and interviews. This research offers scientific research methods that utilize electroencephalogram (…

The negotiated public realm in the contemporary city: Hybrid walkable urban networks of Hong Kong
This paper focuses on the character of multi-level pedestrian accessibility and walkability within the public and quasi-public realm in Hong Kong, using the particular case of the redevelopment of Taikoo Place in Quarry Bay. In an era when the value of public space as a space for public activity and debate is coming under increasing scrutiny, both in Hong Kong and internationally, this paper explores multi-level interior and exterior public and q…
Spatial Cognition and Three-Dimensional Vertical Urban Design Guidelines—Cognitive Measurement and Modelling for Human Centre Design
Numerous studies have shown that the emotional wellbeing of urban populations is influenced by various aspects of urban development, such as social factors and the presence of walkable areas and green spaces. However, there is a lack of research that closely integrates urban design and cognition, particularly in the context of vertical and volumetric urbanism. This disconnect between design and science disciplines is evident when reviewing the li…

Urban volumetrics: From vertical to volumetric urbanisation and its extensions to empirical morphological analysis
While cities have become gradually more vertical and complex over the past century, our methods for conceptualising their characteristics and measuring their forms and functions are still largely based in a horizontal mindset. Recent work has sought to shift urban discourse towards understanding cities according to their volumetric properties. Moving the debate further, this paper approaches volumetric urbanism from a morphological perspective, s…
