Abstract

Artificial Intelligent (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) will provide novel solutions in the area of public spaces design if the designers could understand how these technologies can be best utilized. This study aims to address the question, “How can practitioners be supported in applying AI and IoT technologies in the early design process of smart public spaces?” In order to answer the question, the author developed a framework includes three categories and 48 technologies that can be utilized in smart public spaces design. A focus group was run to evaluate the feasibility. The evaluation suggests that the framework can be used as design stimuli in the concept design phase. At the end, the paper discusses the usage and iteration direction for the framework.
