“…This introduces diverse and permeable urban experiences [60]. Archigram, for instance, highlighted the use of bi-layered connections, such as subways in New York City, to illustrate the limited adoption of multi-level connections and the importance of considering diagonal connections [61]. It is worth noting that most cities have, at most, a tri-layered connection system comprising below ground, at ground level, and above ground elements, all of which remain relatively close to the ground in comparison to the height of buildings.…”

Numerous studies have shown that the emotional wellbeing of urban populations is influenced by various aspects of urban development, such as social factors and the presence of walkable areas and green spaces. However, there is a lack of research that closely integrates urban design and cognition, particularly in the context of vertical and volumetric urbanism. This disconnect between design and science disciplines is evident when reviewing the limited research on emotional and spatial cognition in this specific urban context. This paper seeks to address that disconnect by proposing a comprehensive framework for the cognitive measurement and modelling of the built environment. This will involve exploring and measuring neural mechanisms, employing electroencephalogram (EEG) equipment to measure user responses in vertical and volumetric public spaces. The aim is to create a foundation for further studies in this field that is consistent and rigorous and can facilitate collaboration with cognitive neuroscientists by establishing a shared conceptual basis. The goal of this research is to develop a human-centric approach for urban design that is scientific and measurable, producing a set of urban design guidelines that incorporate cognitive measurement and modelling, with the broader intention to prioritize human needs and wellbeing within urban environments to make them more liveable.

“…In 1964, Archigram magazine unveiled its "Walking Cities" plan initiative by one of Archigram member Ron Helen. Moving buildings around the world by building giant mobile robot structures that divert needed resources and manufacturing capabilities (Cook, 1964). This concept enables buildings to be transformed, walked, combined and separated as a living creature.…”

This article highlights work using machine learning in collaboration with designers for speculative world building. The process is unique because of the feedback loop, between the designer and the computational process. Worldbuilding is a speculative practice and requires vision and courage on the part of the designer. Working with machine learning neural style transfer (NST) allows the designers to consider possibilities humanity may not otherwise allow ourselves to imagine. This is important because human imagination paves the path for the future of humankind. Imagining a sustainable future requires considering unconventional solutions. Imagining non-probable futures allows humanity to glean desirable aspects to strive for. Even if a conceived future is impossible within the built environment, there are many opportunities for people to inhabit these environments virtually. Letting yourself get lost in these places is a form of travel, even when conditions limit one's ability to physically do so.
