    Artificially Interactive Individualized Genetic Algorithms (AIIGA) for Gestalt Analysis: Evolutionary algorithms enhanced with sAI in architectural design
    This research is concerned with the automation of the user interventional aspect within interactive genetic algorithms (IGA) as already explored in previous publications by the authors considering their use for Gestalt analyses and generative design optimization. For the first time, this research presents a prototypical system that is an artificially interactive individualized genetic algorithm (AIIGA) to be used in the architectural design process. It presents an evolution of interactive genetic algorithms (IGA) that use Gestalt analytical algorithms and integrate so-called AI into said algorithms to propose a new systematic approach. The latter is here called artificially interactive individualized genetic algorithm (AIIGA), replacing human intervention with genetic algorithm procedures, as is the case in IGA with the intervention of a so-called artificial intelligence building block, optimized for this purpose. Combining generative and cognitive abilities in semi-automated design processes within AIIGA systems as presented in this paper is a powerful potential for a wide variety of design process configurations.

    Urban street space analysis with spherical box-counting: holistic digital gestalt analysis of architecture in urban space
    (University of Cyprus, Department of Architecture, 2024-09) ;
    Spherical box-counting of urban street spaces is a novel method developed and refined by the authors to produce highly specific topological fractal fingerprinting of architecture in relation to observer position and in the context of the accompanying surroundings. The use of 360-degree spherical panoramas as input data and basis for fractal measurement lies at the center of this method. A holistic approach toward architectural and urban design, balancing between simplicity and complexity of all Gestalt qualities, needs to take the influence of every (especially man-made) object in view into consideration. This research shows that Gestalt complexity is linked to the observerʼs viewpoint as well as the Gestalt complexity of all objects visible from the viewerʼs position. This is another decisive step toward holistic fractal and overall digital Gestalt analysis of urban spaces.

    Customer configuration systems as a design task : architectural education and context-driven product configurator design
    (2023-06)
    This research deals with customer configuration systems for architecture and design products as a design task for students. The design of a product configurator accompanying the parametric design of a piece of furniture or an architectural element has been introduced in several courses over the last ten years at the HafenCity University Hamburg and at Hamburg University of Technology by the author. These studios are presented as case studies to discuss the didactic potential that lies in designing customer oriented product configuration systems with students of design and architecture.

    Multilayered Complexity Evaluation within Configuratorsfor Design: Responsible collaborative systems for architectural and product design
    This paper describes the concept of integrating several complexity evaluation methods, previously developed and tested by the authors, into one product configurator through a technical prototype. In this case variations of an online configurator for design products based on a choice of these digital complexity evaluation methods developed between 2015 and 2020 are presented. This research shows that an integration of complexity evaluation for several Gestalt qualities in one product configurator is feasible, though the amount of aspects of each of these qualities and the necessary effort to be invested to achieve an integration that is suitable for customer use may vary. The concept is illustrated using a simple test case, i.e. an online shelf configurator.
