Compositional Structures as Substrates for Human-AI Co-creation Environment: A Design Approach and A Case Study
Open accessAbstract
It has been increasingly recognized that effective human-AI co-creation requires more than prompts and results, but an environment with empowering structures that facilitate exploration, planning, iteration, as well as control and inspection of AI generation. Yet, a concrete design approach to such an environment has not been established. Our literature analysis highlights that compositional structures-which organize and visualize individual elements into meaningful wholes-are highly effective in granting creators control over the essential aspects of their content. However, efficiently aggregating and connecting these structures to support the full creation process remains challenging. Therefore, we propose a design approach of leveraging compositional structures as the substrates and infusing AI within and across these structures to enable a controlled and fluid creation process. We evaluate this approach through a case study of developing a video co-creation environment using this approach. User evaluation shows that such an environment allowed users to stay oriented in their creation activity, remain aware and in control of AI's generation, and enable flexible human-AI collaborative workflows.

Human designers often need to deconstruct and recompose AI outputs to meet professional standards.
“As highlighted by Cao et al. [1], human designers often need to deconstruct and recompose AI outputs to meet professional standards.”
From Human-AI Co-Creation in Visual Communication Design: A Framework and Empirical Study (2026) · cites this paper as [1]
Section 7.1 (p. 12) reports that creators used compositional structures to understand AI-generated content, spot mismatches, and identify where to make changes; the Introduction (p. 2) likewise emphasizes iterative refinement beyond prompting. The paper does not establish that designers often need to deconstruct and recompose outputs specifically to meet professional standards. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
