“…Multi-sensory micro architecture can play an instrumental role. Depending on the enhancement of the sensory perceptions, people may change a very small and poor space into a better one [83][84][85][86][87]. Under the situation of affordable architectural space shortage, it may be a good way to unravel part of the problem.…”

Sensory stimuli in an architectural space play an important role in the human perception of the indoor environment, no matter whether they are static or dynamic, isolated, or combined. By enhancing some perceptions in the sensory stimuli, the overall perceptions of an architectural space can be improved, especially for an intelligent architectural space. As yet, there are few studies reported about the sensory perception mechanism for the sensory stimuli operation in the architectural experience. In this research, a wooden micro building was prepared for the study of the sensitivity level of participants to various sensory stimuli in the same and in different sensory domains. Participants’ visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile and kinaesthesia perceptions were discussed statistically in terms of the sensitivity level. Based on the study, the effect of a single dynamic sensory stimulus (a dynamically coloured light) on the participants’ perception was studied in a paper architectural model from two aspects including preference and emotion. The dynamically coloured light was discussed statistically in terms of the level of preference. The study showed that there are significant differences among participants’ levels of sensitivity to the different sensory domains and to the different sensory stimuli. In particular, the sensitivity level to the stimulus that is the colour of a space is the highest of all stimuli. As a single changing sensory stimulus, a dynamically coloured light can lead to significant mood fluctuations and changes in the preference level. In particular, yellow is the favourite colour of light. The object of this study is expected to provide a theoretical foundation that is related to sensory choice, sensory perception enhancement and the combination forms of sensory perceptions. Based on the theoretical foundation, the perception design of overlapped multi-sensory stimuli and a single dynamic stimulus can be conducted to improve the quality of the indoor environment of normal and intelligent multi-sensory architecture.

“…Cool colors create a hygienic appearance and warm colors evoke a positive mood when applied to the kitchen walls or cabinet [45]. In 2011, Cho et al emphasised the importance of a proper ventilation system in the kitchen [60]. Without adequate ventilation (opening windows or using extractor fans), pollution, dampness, mold and fungi growth can be seen, which may create structural defects and have respiratory effects on children [61,62].…”

“…According to UK GBC, avoiding moisture, pollutant and mold growth are essential issues when developing good indoor quality for bathing and toilet [56]. Cho et al identified a strong psychological need for window ventilation in the bathroom to enhance the occupants' indoor quality [60]. Hendrassukma emphasised that color and lighting design issues are essential to improving the comfortable atmosphere in the bathroom.…”

“…According to various studies, humidity and ventilation inside the room are very important for such storage and utility spaces. Without the right amount of light and ventilation, storage spaces can accumulate various fungi and mold growth, which is subsequently dangerous for stored goods and technical accessories [28,44,60]. The overall relationship between the spatial and environmental design factors of storage and utilities is illustrated in Figure 15.…”

Conceptual Parametric Relationship for Occupants’ Domestic Environmental Experience

2021

Today’s architectural design approaches do not adequately address the relationship between users’ spatial, environmental and psychological experiences. Domestic environmental experience generally indicates users’ cognitive perceptions and physical responses within dwelling spaces. Therefore, without a clear perception of occupants’ experiences, it is difficult to identify proper architectural solutions for a domestic environment. To understand notions of these domestic experiences, the current study explores the theoretical relationship between spatial and environmental design factors within domestic settings which led to the concept of “Environmental Experience Design (EXD)”. Extensive data exploration was conducted using a combination of thirty keywords through different databases (e.g., Scopus, ScienceDirect, PubMed, Google Scholar, Mendeley and Research Gate) to categorise the relevant literature regarding thematic study areas such as human perception and phenomenology, environmental design and psychology, residential environment and design, health-wellbeing and user experiences. This study has identified theoretical associations between spatial and environmental design factors of different domestic spaces that can stimulate occupants’ satisfaction and comfort by reviewing eighty-seven studies from the literature. However, occupants’ contextual situations significantly impact domestic spaces, where spatial and environmental design attributes may be connected to diverse sociocultural factors. The scope of explanation about user context is limited, to some extent, in environmental design theories. Thus, combining occupants’ contexts with spatial and environmental design factors will be a future research direction used to explore the notion of “Domestic Environmental Experience Design”.

“…These long-term feasibility concepts are also stated by Schneider & Till (33), who compare 'flexibility' and 'inflexibility' concepts. Flexibility can also provide user satisfaction through multi-usability, since people don't have to move or pay extra expenses for the changes needed in time (34,35). Flexible housing is a layout where space organization, as a quality parameter, can be adapted to inhabitants' needs through their collaboration (27) for accomplishing their expectations and, consequently, for increasing user's satisfaction (31,36).…”

One of the most important considerations in housing design is flexibility, which refers to the idea of including change over time. In looking at recent residential architecture of Cyprus, especially in real estate housing as a subset of mass housing, unfortunately, flexibility is not considered enough as a leading concept. The aim of this research is to evaluate notions and stages of flexibility in real estate housing projects in a recently developed residential context on the Salamis coastal line between the cities of Famagusta and Trikomo. The first step is flexibility assessment from an architectural perspective, through analyzing the architectural drawings of the projects to find out the potential for long term flexibility in terms of 'structural', 'functional' and 'cultural' notions; whereas, the second step is evaluating flexibility in three phases as 'design', 'construction' and 'usage' stages through questionnaire surveys with both construction companies and users. The results indicate the flexibility from the company's perspective and defragment the inhabitants' external and interior flexibility needs in three different stages, highlighting the role of companies and architects in designing flexible housing that can adapt to various users and their changing needs and preferences.
