Abstract

Much has been exhorted to pursue participatory building design (PBD) but little has been done to enhance it owing to difficulties such as participant inclusion and clarity of expression. An opportunity is enabled by metaverse and generative AI technologies. This paper aims to explore this by developing a framework that integrates metaverse and generative AI. To start, a desktop study is conducted to examine the challenges related to PBD. Based on this, a PBD framework called Meta-interaction was developed. It incorporates metaverse in enabling users to participate in the immersive design process, and generative AI for automated user requirement extraction, design feature option generation, and visualization. Finally, the prototype was implemented in five pilot cases. Results show that the framework is applicable and highly valued by most designers and end-users. This study enriches the applications of metaverse and generative AI in building design and offers insights for future PBD initiatives.

元交互：整合元宇宙和生成式人工智能的可部署框架，用于参与式建筑设计

参与式建筑设计（PBD）的呼声不绝于耳，但由于参与者的包容性和表达的清晰性等困难，在加强参与式建筑设计方面所做的工作却少之又少。元宇宙和生成式人工智能技术提供了一个机会。本文旨在通过开发一个整合元数据和生成式人工智能的框架来探索这一问题。首先，本文进行了一项桌面研究，以探讨与 PBD 相关的挑战。在此基础上，开发了一个名为 "元交互"（Meta-interaction）的 PBD 框架。该框架结合了元交互（meta-interaction）和生成式人工智能（generative AI），前者可以让用户参与到沉浸式设计过程中，后者可以自动提取用户需求、生成设计特征选项和实现可视化。最后，在五个试点案例中实施了原型。结果表明，该框架适用于大多数设计师和最终用户，并得到了他们的高度评价。这项研究丰富了元宇宙和生成式人工智能在建筑设计中的应用，并为未来的 PBD 计划提供了启示。

期刊介绍： Automation in Construction is an international journal that focuses on publishing original research papers related to the use of Information Technologies in various aspects of the construction industry. The journal covers topics such as design, engineering, construction technologies, and the maintenance and management of constructed facilities. The scope of Automation in Construction is extensive and covers all stages of the construction life cycle. This includes initial planning and design, construction of the facility, operation and maintenance, as well as the eventual dismantling and recycling of buildings and engineering structures.
