Abstract
Authorial interior design in the United States often loses fidelity between the studio concept and the finished space, and this study examines why that loss occurs and how it can be reduced. The aim is to characterize the realizability gap and to analyze how computer-generated imagery (CGI), technical detailing, and coordination with general contractors operate together to close it. The work combines a structured review of peer-reviewed sources, comparative analysis of market and labor data, and a single case study of a cross-border studio that serves United States clients with a European design language and a remote production team. Results show that the visualization market grows faster than design services, that construction rework and a verified labor shortage raise the cost of misaligned documentation, and that treating CGI as the binding reference rather than a sales asset lowers rework risk. The conclusion confirms the aim by presenting an alignment proposal and practical recommendations. These findings are useful for interior designers, CGI studios, general contractors, real-estate developers, and workforce-policy stakeholders.
The construction industry is a critical sector of the global economy, requiring strict adherence to regulations and accurate execution of building plans to ensure quality and customer satisfaction. In this context, we propose a mixed reality (MR) system for construction house evaluation and quality assessing (CHEQA). MR. CHEQA enables the overlay of digital construction definition models onto real-world construction sites, allowing users to visually compare the intended design with the actual construction. The system also provides measurement tools to quantify discrepancies and assess compliance with industry standards. Implemented using a commercially available mixed-reality headset, MR. CHEQA enhances on-site verification processes by offering an intuitive and immersive visualization of construction elements, such as walls, windows, electrical layouts, and piping. Experimental evaluations in different settings demonstrated the system’s effectiveness. The results presented in this study demonstrate the potential of MR. CHEQA as a valuable tool for improving quality control in construction projects.

This paper presents a comprehensive scientometric analysis and thematic exploration of research trends in three-dimensional (3D) printed concrete (3DPC), with a particular focus on the interrelated concepts of buildability and printability. Following an overview of the background and significance of 3DPC in modern construction, the study emphasizes the critical roles of buildability and printability in determining the success and structural integrity of printed elements. Utilizing bibliometric data from Scopus, tools such as VOSviewer were employed to analyze publication trends, influential authors, institutions, and keyword patterns. The analysis reveals increasing research activity, with notable global collaboration and thematic evolution over time. Subsequent sections delve into the definitions, influencing factors, testing methodologies, and challenges associated with both buildability and printability. Recent advancements, experimental techniques, and real-world case studies are examined to highlight technological progress. The study further explores the synergies and trade-offs between buildability and printability, proposing integrated frameworks for material and process optimization. Finally, the paper identifies current research gaps and outlines future directions, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary approaches and standardization. The findings aim to guide researchers and practitioners toward more efficient, reliable, and scalable 3DPC applications in the construction industry.

DIY (do-it-yourself) furniture making performed in the physical world is inevitably accompanied by trial-and-error failures, material waste, and injury risk, all of which discourage people from attempting it. Virtual reality (VR) can remove these costs, but existing VR-based DIY systems only let users create virtual objects; none of them provide a way to turn the resulting design into a physical object. This study proposes a VR-DIY system that supports both virtual furniture making and the subsequent physical fabrication of the created object, and evaluates its usability and effectiveness. In the proposed system, users generate cuboid, spherical, and cylindrical objects of arbitrary size and color in VR, and cut and join them to build furniture. The system can also temporarily disassemble a finished object into its constituent parts, arrange the parts by size with dimensions labeled, and export a PDF blueprint reporting the six-view photographs, dimensions, and material cost of each part. As a preliminary trial, we constructed an actual chair by procuring wood based on a design generated by the proposed system. The results provide preliminary evidence that the proposed system has the potential to support both virtual DIY and the transition from virtual furniture design to physical fabrication. These findings also suggest potential applications in areas such as design education, industrial prototyping, and collaborative design environments.
Designing products that feel simple and intuitive while remaining efficient to manufacture and meaningful across cultures remains a key challenge in contemporary product development. Although minimalist design has achieved commercial success, most methodologies fail to systematically connect aesthetic intentions with engineering, usability, and production realities. This study proposes a four-phase iterative framework—Framing, Translation, Materialisation, and Experience that integrates human-centred design, simplicity heuristics—including ‘SHE’ (Shrink, Hide, Embody) tactics, quantitative aesthetic measurement, Design for X methods, and cross-cultural considerations to operationalise minimalist principles such as formal reduction, seriality, and industrial materiality. An empirical case study applied the framework to three competing automotive interior concepts through image-based evaluation by 113 respondents. Results provided preliminary evidence that a balanced hybrid approach consistently outperformed both traditional button-heavy and extreme single-screen minimalist designs across measures of usability, sense of order, trust, and user recommendation. Findings confirm that effective minimalism does not merely remove elements but strategically redistributes complexity into interface logic, production systems, and material quality. The framework offers designers a structured yet flexible path to create manufacturable, user-validated, and culturally sensitive minimalist products.

The results show that CAD evaluation must test engineering behavior rather than appearance alone, while editing supplied CAD is substantially easier than generating it, while complex edits and matched FEA remain difficult.
Historically, architecture has been perceived as a stationary creation and thus the study of mechanisms or kinetics was beyond its scope of curriculum-based architecture studios. This is particularly true for functional spaces that are used by occupants often needing flexibility in space use. In the last twenty years the design of small spaces for functional optimization has become an area of increasing interest. Interiors having transformable spaces through kinetic walls, moveable partitions, foldable surfaces, dynamic furniture, etc. is an area that can be a valuable studio learning for curriculum-based design education. The study of mechanisms and understanding their application in design can enhance the quality of smart spaces that are multi-functional. The use of hinges, gears, cranks, levers, coils, springs, struts, principles of weight and counterweight, principles of tension-compression to formulate design ideas to incorporate various kinetic elements is one of the objectives of this studio. It is to be noted that the scope of the studio was limited only to design and construction and not on follow-up evaluation of its use or effectiveness.
