(1) Background: As digital technology continues to reshape visual landscapes, understanding how design elements influence customer experience has become essential. Eye-tracking technology offers a powerful, quantitative approach to assessing visibility, aesthetics, and design components, providing unique insights into visual engagement. (2) Methods...

Objectives: We empirically investigated to what extent plants in the emergency department (ED) waiting areas influence patient wait experiences (i.e., anxiety, perceived service quality, and perception of wait time) depending on individual differences in cognitive thinking styles and one’s bonds with the natural world. Background: Positive effects...

Visitors to emergency department waiting areas often experience high anxiety, which results in discomfort during their waits. Our findings offer empirical evidence for the positive impact of including natural elements in these waiting areas. We created four high-fidelity virtual environments that incorporated natural elements in three ways, i.e., t...

Despite the benefits of virtual reality (VR), there has been limited exploration of how immersive VR can be implemented in interior design course content and how students perceive its use. For this study, we investigated how an immersive VR tool can be incorporated into the interior design studio to support second-year students’ (n = 18) design pro...

With increasing demands on medical care services, one of the trends is the mixed patient room arrangement of single/double-bed and multi-bed rooms in a nursing unit on the same floor. This influences nurse-to-patient assignment and often causes an unbalanced workload and longer travel distances for nurses. The objective of this study was to investi...

Social interaction is an essential factor in ensuring the quality of older adult living. This study aimed to investigate socio-spatial features associated with social interaction in older adult care facilities. A socio-technological approach integrating space syntax and agent-based analysis was applied as an evaluation framework to measure the spat...

This study investigates the nursing unit design for care quality and efficient operation, evaluating visibility and walking distance of nurses in the different form of layout. Sufficient visibility from nurses' station to patient rooms and corridors can increase nurses' care abilities to understand the needs and movements of patients. The workload...

This study applied self-organization as an approach to understand complex city networks formed by interactions of spatial structures and human movements. We conducted agent-based simulations to investigate visible and invisible networks and self-organized aspects of town development processes. This study investigated spatial network configurations...

The unique integration of geometries and techniques allows the natural organisms to adapt to different environments in creative ways. In this study, a bio-inspired pneumatic facade is presented as a strategy to improve the efficiency of natural ventilation performance by controlling the adaptive openings. The Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation...

The building skins are important architectural elements in both functional and aesthetical aspects. This study focuses on developing a responsive facade with automatic opening and closing behaviors in accordance with environmental conditions and user requirements for natural ventilation for the office building. The pneumatic ETFE panels are applied...

With the ingenious properties of unconstrained formativeness and frank expression of materiality the exposed concrete became popular with numerous architectures. The application of the exposed concrete has expanded to indoor environments such as commercial and residential spaces beyond the building exteriors with the uncompromising nature of its ma...
