summary |
The urgency for an inclusive architectural design process in conceptualizing the built environment stems from the need to establish effective communication between under- represented groups and design professionals. However, various challenges hinder the development of an inclusive design process that accommodates diverse stakeholders. Individual designers or selective design teams are frequently limited by their own visions, causing them to potentially overlook alternative solutions. Moreover, stakeholders who lack professional training might struggle to articulate their expectations. The emergence of generative AI (artificial intelligence) technologies has significantly reduced the tech- nical barriers in design, and has empowered non-professionals to vividly express their ideas regarding forms and spaces. This has presented a valuable opportunity to better understand the perspectives of underrepresented groups through visual representations. Therefore, this research aims to explore the impact of image generation on the democ- ratization of the design process. Using chair design as a testing ground, we propose an evolutionary computing framework that simulates interactions among designers and participants empowered by emerging AI technologies. To investigate the potential impact of image generation, we have implemented a multiplayer design game to allow computing agents to compete in exploring 3D chair forms. Through this approach, we aim to gain insights into how image generation influences design decisions, whether it generates more diversified solutions, and what values could be introduced into the built environment. |
