“…(3) The necessity of using computational design-based decision-support approaches. As the health status and personality of PWAD might change [43], the data collected by the sensors can feed into machine learning and artificial intelligence-based applications that would facilitate the self-learning capacity of assistive technology setups and convert the smart therapeutic environment into a cognitive therapeutic environment, as it will be capable of learning new rules through the interactions of PWAD with the environment [44].…”

People with Alzheimer’s disease (PWAD) are impacted by their surroundings, and their performance improves in therapeutic environments designed to meet their specific individual needs, are adjustable in terms of their health status, and are created to accommodate their abilities. A literature review of the field revealed scarce knowledge in using a combination of building information modeling (BIM) and the Internet of Things (IoT) for the purpose of understanding the daily needs and self-orientation ability of PWAD, as well as the architectural barriers they face in their rooms in long-term healthcare centers. In this context, this paper proposes a framework based on computational design approaches to assess the existing therapeutic environment for PWAD using BIM–IoT sensors-based monitoring. The proposed framework used the user experience design concept (UX) and the design thinking framework to evaluate the resident rooms of PWAD. The UX design concept and the design thinking framework core allow for the adoption of user-centered methods to provide a comprehensive image of the issues that affect PWAD in their therapeutic environment. The proposed framework-structured approach will enable healthcare architects/designers to (1) digitalize old building architecture plans using BIM; (2) strategize IoT sensor selection; (3) recognize the activities performed by PWAD and detect any anomaly; and (4) integrate IoT real-time data into the BIM system. The proposed framework supports three types of professionals: (1) architects in decision-making processes, (2) researchers in collecting/analyzing accurate data for shadow observations, and (3) neurologists in following up the health statuses of PWAD.

“…Cognitive buildings serve as critical components in the development of smart cities, and the demand for them is growing, owing to cloud computing, which provides big data accessibility for digital twins and cognitive services via sensor connections and open protocols [10,4]. A cognitive building stands to differ from a smart building with the ability to update its knowledge base according to the changing needs of the occupants due to its nature of being equipped with CPSs and the ability to learn new rules through interactions with the environment and autonomously update its knowledge base throughout the building's lifecycle [21,5]. The next section discusses the optimisation of the modular construction approach for cognitive building design and development.…”

The cognitive building provides promises if its social and technical requirements are considered holistically, but these have not been consciously explored, particularly within modular construction, which offers an unexploited opportunity. This study, therefore, aims to develop a framework for the modular construction of a cognitive building as a socio-technical system to ensure effective human-technology interaction, stakeholder acceptance and engagement. The framework is examined with a mock-up project of a student smart residential building in Hong Kong, similar to a cognitive building, which adopted a modular construction technique. The case demonstrated that the framework effectively ensures multi-perspectival involvement of key stakeholders at the design and manufacturing phase to produce modular units cleanly embedded with appropriate and operable cognitive building technologies for users and facility managers before transported to the site. The study is based on a single case study; hence, there could be a little scientific rigour providing little basis for the generalisation of the results to a wider space. As buildings are technologically advancing, future studies are encouraged to look at other possible case projects that utilise modular construction principles and evaluate them by adopting this study’s STS framework or its enhanced form.
