Science fiction reduces the eeriness of android robots: A field experiment

As suggested by the uncanny valley hypothesis, robots that resemble humans likely elicit feelings of eeriness. Based on the psychological model of meaning maintenance, we expected that the uncanny valley experience could be mitigated through a fictional story, due to the meaning-generating function of narratives. A field experiment was conducted, in which 75 participants interacted with the humanlike robot Telenoid. Prior to the interaction, they either read a short story, a non-narrative leaflet about the robot, or they received no preliminary information. Eeriness ratings were significantly lower in the science fiction condition than in both other conditions. This effect was mediated by higher perceived human-likeness of the robot. Our findings suggest that science fiction may provide meaning for otherwise unsettling future technologies.     

Toward TechnoAccess: A narrative review of disabled and aging experiences of using technology to access the arts

This paper presents a narrative literature review that addresses the issue of how disabled and aging people access the arts through technology. Our review synthesized 56 studies about disabled and aging people's experiences of access through technology, with a focus on methods used and accounts of user experiences/stories to inform a Canadian research and development initiative called Accessing the Arts. We urge designers and developers to consider the complex, multimodal sociotechnical relationships surrounding technology and access—or TechnoAccess—as they develop technology with disability, aging and access in mind. Although existing evidence offers ways to improve everyone's access to the arts, recommendations are provided for research around access and technology as an inherently politicized topic that must be informed by disabled and aging people's intersectional cultural experiences, including how they wish to use technology to access the arts.     

First documentation of spawning by deepwater sculpins in the Great Lakes and potential impacts of round gobies

Deepwater sculpins Myoxocephalus thompsonii, formerly fourhorn sculpin M. quadricornis (marine form), inhabit all five Great Lakes. Deepwater sculpin is prey for lake trout Salvelinus namaycush and feeds on benthos. Populations have been declining with possible reasons being oligotrophication, quagga mussels (Dreissena bugensis), predation, and impacts of round goby Neogobius melanostomus competition or predation on eggs. Deepwater sculpins are thought to spawn during winter based on gravid females and appearance of larval fish in spring, but a male guarding a nest has not been documented. We used remotely operated vehicle technology during December 2015, March 2017, and March 2021 in 70–191 m in Grand Traverse Bay, Lake Michigan to identify the distribution of deepwater sculpins, round gobies, and nests with a guarding male. Round gobies were much more abundant (observations/hr = 139) in water < 125 m than were deepwater sculpins (11/hr), while in water > 166 m, deepwater sculpins were much more common (39/hr) than at shallow sites. At deep sites, round gobies were more abundant (51/hr) than deepwater sculpins (39/hr). On 16 March 2021 in 190 m of 1.9 C surface water we discovered several presumptive, unoccupied nests, but one nest in a depression next to a branch contained a deepwater sculpin and a clump of eggs. This is first evidence of where and how deepwater sculpins spawn. We also documented round gobies in the same area with one within 2 m of the nest, creating the possibility for consumption of eggs potentially affecting their long-term survival.

线型旅游空间研究——以京杭大运河为例

在旅游地空间结构和相关"线"状空间研究的基础上,借鉴在世界遗产保护领域的先进理念"文化线路",提出"线型旅游空间"概念,界定为基于遗产保护进行旅游开发的旅游地空间类型.以京杭大运河为例,将其空间特征总结为历史悠久、跨越区域、文化多元和产品趋同等4个主要方面,并在此基础上提出了对大运河旅游规划的启示,应树立保护为先的理念,在全局的视角下避免目前的旅游形象和旅游产品趋同的现象,进行多角度的差异性定位;同时,基于大运河的大尺度、跨区域性,提出建立相应机构加强协调管理,并进行流域联合营销和区域联合营销.     

空间的叙事--对张应鹏无锡南洋学院的一种阅读

空间不是一种苍白的存在,它直指建筑的生命意识;空间不是设计者的附庸,它以独立的思想与情感讲诉自己的故事。这种叙事是开放的,任何空间的参与者可以融入自己的话语,进行自己的解码与编排;这种叙事是流动的,无休无止,没有确切的来龙去脉;这种叙事是透明的,活动于空间内的人和物永远是真实的展露;这种叙事是感性的,只有善感的心灵才能感知它的存在。     

基于城市记忆保护的景观规划——以苏州运河两岸景观规划为例

中国正处在快速城市化的发展阶段,城市的巨大变化对城市记忆的留存带来了威胁。在城市历史文化街区的保护日渐受到重视的同时,城市一般区域中所蕴含的城市记忆也应受到尊重。首先分析了当前社会背景下城市发展与记忆之间的关系,并简析国内外相关案例,最后结合苏州运河两岸景观规划,探讨如何在实践中保留和延续场地内的城市记忆。     

国家大剧院壳体钢结构安装的变形控制

控制变形,是国家大剧院大跨度壳体钢结构安装的关键。主要从支架施工、顶环梁定位、测量、临时支撑等方面进行了变形控制。     

自然·意境·人文--关于电影与建筑的敘事性同构现象的思考

在喧闹的电影市场,电影《刺客聂隐娘》诗意般的叙事给观众巨大的感染。电影所具有的这种感染力,在建筑中常常也会出现。电影与建筑都有的这种感染作用,其根源是两者都具备一种共同的基本属性,即叙事性。本文通过对《刺客聂隐娘》和建筑案例叙事手法的比较,对建筑叙事性属性展开研究,抑或建筑创作可以从电影中获取灵感,并在建筑的创作中能实现其终极的价值——人文关怀。     

从《万寿盛典图》解析清代北京城街道活动空间

以康熙《万寿盛典图》为对象,结合乾隆《京城全图》对所绘街道场景进行转译,解析清代北京城街道活动空间,发掘中国古代街道空间的内涵特征。结果表明:康熙《万寿盛典图》所描绘的清代北京城街道场景具有极强的写实性;其次,街道活动空间包含围合式、开放式、沿街式的形态类型,空间相对独立,实质性质与"广场"相似,串联分布,在街道上具有连贯性;最后指出,由于街道上的公共活动使得街道形态由线性空间发展为树状空间,形成富有变化的场所。
