Azadi, S. (author), Bai, N. (author), Nourian, Pirouz (author)How can we assess the ergonomic comfort of a sizeable spatial configuration such as the indoor space of a complex building or an urban landscape when we design, plan, and manage the space? Is there a fundamental difference between indoor [architectural] spatial configurations and outdoor [urban] spatial configurations with respect to ergonomics?...journal article 2024

Nourian, Pirouz (author), Azadi, Shervin (author), Uijtendaal, Roy (author), Bai, N. (author)This chapter presents methodological reflections on the necessity and utility of artificial intelligence (AI) in generative design. Specifically, the chapter discusses how generative design processes can be augmented by AI to deliver in terms of a few outcomes of interest or performance indicators while dealing with hundreds or thousands of...book chapter 2024

Nourian, Pirouz (author), Azadi, S. (author), Bai, N. (author), de Andrade, Bruno (author), Abu Zaid, Nour (author), Rezvani, Samaneh (author), Pereira Roders, A. (author)We propose a mathematical framework for developing social-choice games that are designed to mediate decision-making processes for city planning, urban area redevelopment, and architectural configuration of urban housing complexes. The proposed framework features a digital serious gaming approach for participatory design to support...journal article 2024

Jia, Z. (author), Nourian, Pirouz (author), Luscuere, P (author), Wagenaar, C. (author)This study presents a systematic review of the literature on decision support for designing hospital layouts using spatial network analysis and/or simulation modelling. The review includes 102 articles, which are classified into five different categories concerning their layout-related challenges. Specifically, the categories include...review 2023

Bai, N. (author), Nourian, Pirouz (author), Pereira Roders, A. (author), Bunschoten, Raoul (author), Huang, Weixin (author), Wang, Lu (author)During the rural [re]vitalization process in China, national strategies required rural public spaces with cultural significance to be identified before planning decision-making. However, places identified as culturally significant by planners and visitors can differ from the ones mostly used and valued by locals. Even if there is a growing...journal article 2023

Romagnoli, Federica (author), Nourian, Pirouz (author), Ferrante, Tizana (author), Villani, Teresa (author)This paper presents ongoing research to define the framework of a computational design approach based on the ideas of spatial analysis and spatial synthesis to implement multi-criteria evaluations and provide evidence of the performance of the design alternatives in the specific case of home adaptation for healthcare at home. The European health...journal article 2022

Bai, N. (author), Nourian, Pirouz (author), Luo, Renqian (author), Pereira Roders, A. (author)Values (why to conserve) and Attributes (what to conserve) are essential concepts of cultural heritage. Recent studies have been using social media to map values and attributes conveyed by the public to cultural heritage. However, it is rare to connect heterogeneous modalities of images, texts, geo-locations, timestamps, and social network...journal article 2022

Çubukçuoglu, C. (author), Nourian, Pirouz (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author), Tasgetiren, M. Fatih (author)The paper proposes a generative design workflow for three major hospital layout planning steps to satisfy multiplex configurational requirements. The initial step is stacking through clustering functional spaces into floor plans, for which a spectral method is presented. Subsequently, a novel simultaneous process of zoning and routing is...journal article 2022

Azadi, S. (author), Nourian, Pirouz (author)We present a modular generative design framework for design processes in thebuilt environment that provides for the unification of participatory design andoptimization to achieve mass-customization and evidence-based design. Thepaper articulates this framework mathematically as three meta proceduresframing the typical design problems as multi...conference paper 2021

Bitting, S. (author), Azadi, S. (author), Nourian, Pirouz (author)In contrast to the contemporary aesthetic account, Muqarnas are geometrically complex variations of Squinches used for structural integration of rectilinear geometries and curved geometries. Inspired by the historical functionality of Muqarnas, we present a generalized computational workflow for generating dry-fit stacking modules from two...conference paper 2021
