| summary |
The post-occupancy evaluation (POE) process, traditionally reliant on subjective user feedback and observations, has evolved in response to global concerns like climate change and sustainability. This shift towards greater objectivity and quantification reflects an increased focus on precise measurement of environmental and performance metrics. Consequently, architectural assessment is now more quantitatively oriented, moving away from a predominantly experiential emphasis. This research investigates the integration of the emerging AI tool Mid-journey into the POE process, specifically targeting the evaluation of experiential aspects in architectural design. It proposes that AI tools can be instrumental for architects and evaluators by translating user feedback into visual representations and conceptual insights. The study aims to initiate a discourse on the role of text-to-image models in assessing user experiences, potentially becoming integral to the design and concept generation process. The research combines quantitative methods like surveys and AI-driven experiments with qualitative approaches such as observations and interviews to offer enhancement proposals for Egyptian museums, comparing traditional POE solutions and frameworks with new proposed framework that incorporates AI-generated alternatives. This study emphasizes the dual role of museums as artifact custodians and platforms for public education about ancient cultures. It highlights the imperative to transform Egyptian national museums into immersive learning environments, rather than mere storage spaces. The aspiration is to create museums that securely display and preserve artifacts while fostering educational engagement in preserving our shared history. |
