Rong Zhai is categorized as a Garden Villa, a special type of detached residential architecture that emerged during Shanghai’s “semi-colonial” past.2 Also emerging in the same period is the concept of Haipai, a term that represents both Shanghai’s unique architectural style and the regional culture that embraces multi-culturalism and cosmopolitanism. The following analysis highlights the connection between the Garden Villa and Haipai, arguing that Rong Zhai is a representation of Haipai, particularly evident in the inclusion of interior design elements from both European and Chinese architectural traditions. This connection provides an essential context to understanding the restoration and reuse of Prada Rong Zhai, its popularity, and limitations. Finally, through an investigation of Rong Zhai, we highlight the contributions of Haipai to our understanding of Chinese historic interiors.","PeriodicalId":56199,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interior Design","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45385830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a similar direction, Vahdat pointed out that the very nature of interior design allows professionals to provide unique user experiences. Highlighting the significance of virtual space in the future market of design, Vahdat believes that instead of imitating photorealistic renders, it is essential to introduce alienation/defamiliarization strategies—through which designers can invoke awareness about the mediation involved in the virtual sphere. The changing role of an interior designer is more uncertain within the context of virtual technology that has the ability to readily conjure quick solutions through publicly accessible artificial intelligence programs such as MidJourney and DALL-E. These programs are harnessing public powers of imagination to produce numerous interior design solutions through verbal and visual prompts.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the fusion of physical and virtual space led to an overlapping of the first place (home) that served as the physical host for the virtual second (work), and third (social gathering) places. Most critically, the first place (home) became a proxy for second and third place experiences as we started connecting with the outside world, albeit virtually. The goal of this study was to determine the extent that individuals relied on technology to meet their socializing needs in response to COVID-19, verify if individuals are altering their environment as a result of the pandemic and whether these changes align with physical third-place characteristics, and inform interior designers on how to intentionally design physical space in ways that include virtual experiences. The researchers employed a mixed-methods approach by gathering data from an online survey, incorporating closed-ended and open-ended questions, using two different convenience sampling approaches (<i>N</i> = 229), and asking participants to submit photos to support their responses. Results illustrated that during the pandemic, virtual environments integrated with the home and became a substitute for physical third places.

The objective of this study was to reveal the variety of spatial organization patterns of these apartments and to assess if theoretical hallmarks of ontological security—constancy, the ability to conduct day-to-day routines, identity construction, freedom from surveillance—may be supported by design decisions. This is the first study to closely examine the interior layouts of such dwellings, despite 1,840,000 PSH apartments having been built in the past 13 years. The dataset is a representative sample of 24 PSH studio apartment floor plans. The archival plan analysis examined typological features of the apartments and the affordances and attributes related to the hallmarks of ontological security. A key finding is that overall layout is determined primarily by entry sequence decisions: constancy and freedom from surveillance may be enhanced by close attention to the layering of this space. A second key finding is that the ability to conduct day-to-day routines and construct identity may be enriched by apartment layout and storage provision. Thus, despite the size constraints of PSH apartments, designers could possibly enhance ontological security affordances through defined layout, ample storage, and a layered entry sequence. For PSH residents, achieving ontological security in their dwellings is a necessary step toward recovery from long-term homelessness.</p>","PeriodicalId":56199,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interior Design","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joid.12235","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47394069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its interactive and visualization benefits are undeniable. Designers, clients, developers, and stakeholders can immerse themselves in future or existing design projects without the need to be physically there. Thanks to more immersive and realistic experiences, the boundaries that separate the physical and the virtual world are becoming nonexistent. Nonetheless, research has focused on the visual characteristics of the virtual space, undermining the consequences for individuals engaged within it. In this study, we assessed the effects on mental workload caused by how individuals visualize themselves in VR using a virtual body (VB). The VB is typically represented by the use of avatars. An experimental setup was carried out with a convenience sample of 72 individuals. Participants interacted in an immersive VR interface with three different conditions of the VB. They were randomly assigned to one of the three conditions and engaged for a period of approximately 20 minutes in tackling a design-like activity. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires in addition to a psychophysiological device accounting for the cognitive load (CL) and task difficulty. The statistical analysis supported differences in CL between conditions. A more detailed visual representation of the VB increased the sensation of being there but contributed extraneous CL that can hinder the task at hand. The findings of this study can guide interior designers in selecting the type of VB they should use for their immersive VR experiences.","PeriodicalId":56199,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interior Design","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41335142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The omniscient point-of-view of the desktop allows the user to explore shapes and objects and their relationships with each other conveniently and efficiently. However, unlike a VR environment (VE), it is difficult for the user to perceive the space through their natural spatial perception from the first-person point-of-view in a DE. Although VEs and DEs have advantages and limitations, research exploring the design activity and review experience using these two mediums is limited. Thus, a method of integrating the characteristics and advantages of existing VEs and DEs is proposed as a hybrid design environment (HE). Empirical comparisons of the three environments (VE, DE, and HE) were performed according to the indicators of system usability, perceived workload, and satisfaction through a series of user experiments (n = 12), showing that the HE was superior on all indicators to the VE. Specifically, participants evaluated the usability of the VE method as the worst and found no significant difference between the usability of the DE and the HE. Perceived workload demand was significantly greater in the VE, and satisfaction levels were also significantly lower than in the other environments. Although the HE allowed both desktop and VR use, participants spent most of their time in the DE and used the VE primarily for design review.","PeriodicalId":56199,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interior Design","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46190217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
