The Shanghai Bund building complex is a material witness to modern Shanghai’s development and Sino-Western cultural exchange. Translating its large-scale architectural language into the small-scale vocabulary of a writing instrument exposes a gap between architectural semiotics and product semantics. Existing studies often emphasize simplified...
Generative AI has been widely applied to art and design across concept generation, visual specification and cross-media delivery. Nevertheless, current prompt research mainly focuses on general language tasks or single-image modification, failing to clarify prompt structure’s role in the full design workflow. Based on a self-built practical...
Generative artificial intelligence is now entering higher education studio courses as a tool for visual research, ideation, prototyping, editing and reflective writing. This paper develops a pedagogical framework for integrating generative AI into studio learning without reducing artistic judgement or creative agency. It asks how AI tools can...
This study addresses the issues of loneliness, loss of autonomy, and weak social interaction among elderly nursing home residents. By carrying out field investigations on six facilities, interviewing 119 residents and caregivers through semi-structured methods and analyzing the designs of art therapy centers both at home and abroad, the study...
As the availability of incremental land in Shanghai’s central urban areas has become increasingly limited, the focus of urban renewal has gradually shifted toward revitalizing human-centered renewal and emotional connections in existing historic districts. Lilong neighborhoods, characterized by aging facilities, insufficient public space, and...
Traditional film and television 3D production suffers from prominent practical pain points including repetitive manual modeling & topology correction, frequent cross-tool format conversion leading to fragmented workflows, long production cycles for high-precision assets, and unstable rendering quality for dynamic camera shots caused by...
Cloisonne enamel, a Chinese intangible cultural heritage, faces procedural complexity, stylistic stagnation, and disconnection from modern consumer aesthetics. A critical gap persists: no existing study combines a culturally annotated dataset with a multi-tool generative pipeline specifically for cloisonne design. This study proposes a...
This is a conceptual paper proposing the Multi-Layered Adaptive Framework for Emotionally Intelligent Elderly Care Interiors (MAF-EI). It addresses three fundamental limitations in current digital eldercare interior research: persistent digital exclusion among vulnerable older adults, the absence of emotionally intelligent adaptive systems, and...
Intangible cultural heritage (ICH) carries rich historical memories, regional cultural characteristics, and accumulated craftsmanship knowledge. However, current ICH digitalization practices mainly focus on preservation and dissemination, while the transformation of digital cultural resources into contemporary design applications remains...
As the digital transformation of higher education continues to deepen, university virtual intellectual-property (IP) characters have evolved from one-way promotional symbols into multifunctional digital interfaces that integrate information services, emotional companionship, cultural communication, and social interaction. Existing studies have...
