Therefore, this study utilized multi-source big data and compared the performance of multiple machine learning models to evaluate the relative importance and nonlinear effects of building-level, neighborhood-level, and street-level built environment factors on pre-sale and second-hand housing prices. The empirical study of Chengdu, China revealed that distance to city center was the most significant explanatory factor influencing pre-sale and second-hand housing prices among all factors. Significant differences existed between neighborhood-level and street-level built environment factors' nonlinear and threshold effects on pre-sale and second-hand housing prices. Notably, subway accessibility showed a U-shaped impact on pre-sale housing prices. To the best of our knowledge, our study is one of the early studies systematically investigating the influencing differences between pre-sale housing prices and second-hand housing prices, providing robust evidence for regulating housing prices through environmental interventions and offering critical references for policymakers and market participants.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51662,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Architectural Research","volume":"14 6","pages":"Pages 1636-1653"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145499907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper critiques the tendency to seek cohesive frameworks, drawing from Graham Harman's speculative realism and Bruno Latour's “<em>Principle of Irreduction</em>,” which challenge hierarchical structures in understanding reality. These perspectives underscore the irreducibility and multiplicity of existence, advocating for a paradigm shift that resists determinism and embraces open-endedness. In this context, Adrian Bejan's constructal law offers a compelling alternative for interpreting architectural and urban forms. Constructal theory conceptualizes form and design as evolutionary responses to flow systems, framing architecture as an active participant in the dynamic interplay of environmental, social, and temporal forces. This perspective encourages a reevaluation of architectural practices not as definitive solutions but as iterative processes that engage with complexity and contingency. By integrating constructal theory with contemporary philosophical critiques, this article proposes a poly-narrative of architecture and urbanism that aligns with the fluidity and multiplicity of modern existence. It argues for a departure from static frameworks toward adaptive methodologies that acknowledge the interconnectedness of actors, scales, and temporalities. Ultimately, this approach reframes design as a dialogic process, fostering resilience and innovation in confronting the uncertainties of a rapidly evolving world.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51662,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Architectural Research","volume":"14 6","pages":"Pages 1750-1779"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145500420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
