Fashioning spaces : mode and modernity in late nineteenth-century Paris
In Fashioning Spaces, Heidi Brevik-Zender argues that in the years between 1870 and 1900 the chroniclers of Parisian modernity depicted the urban landscape not just in public settings such as boulevards and parks but also in \"dislocations,\" spaces where the public and the intimate overlapped in provocative and subversive ways. Stairwells, theatre foyers, dressmakers' studios, and dressing rooms were in-between places that have long been overlooked but were actually marked as indisputably modern through their connections with high fashion. Fashioning Spaces engages with and thinks beyond the work of critics Charles Baudelaire and Walter Benjamin to arrive at new readings of the French capital. Examining literature by Zola, Maupassant, Rachilde, and others, as well as paintings, architecture, and the fashionable garments worn by both men and women, Brevik-Zender crafts a compelling and innovative account of how fashion was appropriated as a way of writing about the complexities of modernity in fin-de-siلecle Paris.

ARCHITECTURAL PILGRIMAGE: GEOMETRIC HARMONY IN EARLY OTTOMAN MOSQUE INTERIORS
The main objective of this study is to take the reader on an architectural pilgrimage to learn about the geometric harmony in the structural patterns that formed the sacred interior space of early Ottoman mosques, “The Single Unit Mosque.” The applied analytical approach is the preferred scientific method for employing theoretical knowledge to conduct structural and geometric analysis on some of the buildings selected in this study, with the researchers seeking to achieve tangible practical results. Since Ottoman architecture was characterized by strong construction and heavy materials through thick walls and high spacious domes, it needed distinctive building techniques to provide spatial and structural harmony between the cubic construction with its straight lines at ground level and the hemispherical construction of the dome with arched lines at the upper level. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the structural patterns and elements employed in Ottoman architecture in the early period of the Ottoman Empire and show their influence on the shape of the interior space and the extent of its breadth and beauty. This study was also devoted to clarifying the geometric compositions of structural patterns through a set of examples of analytical assessments on a selected group of Ottoman mosques. The results clarified the advantages and disadvantages of the domed Ottoman Mosque structural patterns. The research provides a significant and original contribution to the study of early Ottoman Mosque interiors, offering valuable insights into the structural innovations that defined Ottoman architecture.

Research on the optimization of interior design of architectural space considering user perception
This paper integrates the concept of user perception into the presentation of architectural interior spaces. It posits that by employing virtual presentation modes, interior design products are fully demonstrated to users, enhancing their perception of the available information and thereby facilitating the optimization of interior design. The research systematically extracts the influencing factors of user perception by conducting a thorough analysis and synthesis of the literature pertinent to architectural interiors. Additionally, this study combines findings from a questionnaire survey with methods of correlation and regression analysis to further substantiate the identified factors influencing user perception. On this basis, combined with the establishment of a refined model based on real data sources and an indoor modeling method based on tree hierarchy, an indoor 3D virtual scene is constructed with the help of Unity3D software to realize the optimization of architectural space interior design. Overall style of architectural interior space = −2.304 + 0.381*furniture + 0.274*soft furnishing color + 0.205*hard furnishing material + 0.165*lamps + 0.183*hard furnishing color + 0.106*accessories + 0.124*soft furnishing material + 0.115*fabric. Senior and graduate users of higher education had the same attitude towards “personalization” of interior design (both scored 4.33, close to “approved”), while faculty members had the lowest rating (2.6). This study can serve as a guide for the presentation of architectural interiors.

The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design
The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design offers a compelling collection of original essays that seek to examine the shifting role of interior architecture and interior design, and their importance and meaning within the contemporary world. Interior architecture and interior design are disciplines that span a complexity of ideas, ranging from human behaviour and anthropology to history and the technology of the future. Approaches to designing the interior are in a constant state of flux, reflecting and adapting to the changing systems of history, culture and politics. It is this process that allows interior design to be used as evidence for identifying patterns of consumption, gender, identity and social issues. The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design provides a pioneering overview of the ideas and arrangements within the two disciplines that make them such important platforms from which to study the way humans interact with the space around them. Covering a wide range of thought and research, the book enables the reader to investigate fully the changing face of interior architecture and interior design, while offering questions about their future trajectory.

Automation in Interior Space Planning: Utilizing Conditional Generative Adversarial Network Models to Create Furniture Layouts
In interior space planning, the furnishing stage usually entails manual iterative processes, including meeting design objectives, incorporating professional input, and optimizing design performance. Machine learning has the potential to automate and improve interior design processes while maintaining creativity and quality. The aim of this study was to develop a furnishing method that leverages machine learning as a means for enhancing design processes. A secondary aim was to develop a set of evaluation metrics for assessing the quality of the results generated from such methods, enabling comparisons between the performance of different models. To achieve these aims, floor plans were tagged and assembled into a comprehensive dataset that was then employed for training and evaluating three conditional generative adversarial network models (pix2pix, BicycleGAN, and SPADE) to generate furniture layouts within given room boundaries. Post-processing methods for improving the generated results were also developed. Finally, evaluation criteria that combine measures of architectural design with standard computer vision parameters were devised. Visual architectural analyses of the results confirm that the generated rooms adhere to accepted architectural standards. The numerical results indicate that BicycleGAN outperformed the two other models. Moreover, the overall results demonstrate a machine-learning workflow that can be used to augment existing interior design processes.

Color design of modern architectural interior space based on environmental psychology
Due to the diversified development trend of modern architectural design, the functional design and application of houses are being presented in the interior space color layout of houses with its many advantages of interactivity, comprehensiveness, multi-functionality, and personalization. With this as the starting point, this paper analyzes the psychological perception of survey respondents on the same spatial color through big data, converts the perception into EEG signal for decoding, and after the decoding process of EEG data pre-processing, feature extraction, feature identification, and classification, calculates the significance of each element in the time-frequency matrix, which can get a homo-dimensional mask matrix. Then the conditional random field model is established on the random field theory to get the parameters of the model. Finally, the parameters of the model are obtained by maximizing the following entropy function, which is brought into the Lagrangian operator to obtain the pairwise Lagrangian operator. Finally, the EEG signal is decoded to realize the self-control training of color perception under different mentalities. The experimental results showed that by performing the intervention test on self-control and color insight, the mean value of the total self-control score in training was 61.99±11.45, and the intervention effect had stability. Therefore, improving self-control ability and forming correct tendency psychological perception plays a vital role in the color design of architectural space.
