About the Lab

Professor Jinkook Lee's research lab specializes in the integration of artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI and natural language processing, into architectural and construction processes. The lab focuses on advancing BIM-based automation, including rule interpretation and compliance checking through NLP, as well as enhancing early-stage design visualization using text-to-image generation and AI-driven style transfer. The lab also explores immersive technologies such as augmented virtual reality and 360-degree spatial visualization to improve design communication and user engagement. These efforts collectively aim to streamline design workflows, enhance creativity, and support data-driven decision-making in architecture and construction.

Visual language approach to representing KBimCode-based Korea building code sentences for automated rule checking
Hayan Kim, Jin-Kook Lee, Jaeyoung Shin, Jungsik Choi
SJR Q1Journal of Computational Design and EngineeringOA

Abstract The Building Information Modeling (BIM) and its applications enable an automatic building permit process based on 3D building models and their associated information. A crucial part of the building permit process is the interpretation and transformation of natural language-based building regulation into a computer-readable and executable format. As other countries and their projects have developed a certain type of rule-translation methods, KBimCode, part of the KBim application series,

Generative artificial intelligence and building design: early photorealistic render visualization of façades using local identity-trained models
Hayoung Jo, Jin-Kook Lee, Yong-Cheol Lee, Seungyeon Choo
SJR Q1Journal of Computational Design and EngineeringOA

Abstract This paper elucidates an approach that utilizes generative artificial intelligence (AI) to develop alternative architectural design options based on local identity. The advancement of AI technologies has increasingly piqued the interest of the architecture, engineering, construction, and facility management industry. Notably, the topic of “visualization” has gained prominence as a means for enhancing communication related to a project, especially in the early phases of design. This stud

Augmented virtual reality and 360 spatial visualization for supporting user-engaged design
Jin-Kook Lee, Sanghoon Lee, Young-chae Kim, Sumin Kim, Seung-Wan Hong
SJR Q1Journal of Computational Design and EngineeringOA

Abstract This paper discusses an approach to augmented virtual reality (AVR) and 360-degree spatial visualization. The approach involves locating stereoscopic three-dimensional virtual objects into a real off-site panorama, supporting spatial remodel design decision-making through realistic comparisons. Previous studies have shown that in the design process, end-user engagement promotes the quality and satisfaction of design solutions. Immersive media such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented r

Stochastic Detection of Interior Design Styles Using a Deep-Learning Model for Reference Images
Jin Sung Kim, Jin-Kook Lee
SJR Q2Applied SciencesOA

This paper describes an approach for identifying and appending interior design style information stochastically with reference images and a deep-learning model. In the field of interior design, design style is a useful concept and has played an important role in helping people understand and communicate interior design. Previous studies have focused on how the interior design style categories can be defined. On the other hand, this paper focuses on how stochastically recognizing the design style

Deep learning-based extraction of predicate-argument structure (PAS) in building design rule sentences☆
Jae Yeol Song, Jin-Kook Lee, Jungsik Choi, Inhan Kim
SJR Q1Journal of Computational Design and EngineeringOA

Abstract This paper describes an approach to extracting a predicate-argument structure (PAS) in building design rule sentences using natural language processing (NLP) and deep learning models. For the computer to reason about the compliance of building design, design rules represented by natural language must be converted into a computer-readable format. The rule interpretation and translation processes are challenging tasks because of the vagueness and ambiguity of natural language. Many studie
