Presentation / Conference
Lavaf Pour, Y., Barakat, M., Calvo, M., & Chatzimichali, A. (2022, July). Towards empathy in computational design: Co-design and semantic metrics. Poster presented at Tenth International Conference on Design Computing and Cognition, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland UK

Today , computation design has provoked new theoretical frameworks on the systemic design processes (Derix & Izaki 2014). It is acknowledged that individuals possess varying "emotional intelligent quotients" at various levels. Indeed, Baron-Cohen and...

“There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot. ” – John Cage, ‘Silence’ The project intends to understand how sounds alter people’...

Embedded intelligent empathy: A systematic review towards a conceptual framework (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Lavaf-Pour, Y., Barakat, M., & Chatzimichali, A. (2022). Embedded intelligent empathy: A systematic review towards a conceptual framework. In Computer-Aided Architectural Design. Design Imperatives: The Future is Now (36-48). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-19-1280-1_3

This paper is part of a feasibility project aiming to expand computational design processes to include design empathy. The project is in response to recent valid criticism of computational design overlooking the empathy of the designer. Computational...
