Parameterize walkable urban forms considering perceptual qualities

Evaluation technique of perceptual qualities of an urban corridor Noghan Bazaar, Mashhad

It is claimed that perception is the result of objective measurement and subjective reaction, when people immerse in an environment. This statement is the main theme of this paper. This study tries to set a framework in analyzing built environment that is to comply with human perceptive processes. The approach of this article presents a methodology to assess the perceptual environment . The pa...

Sustainable Urban Design and Walkable Neighborhoods

Perceptual qualities and material classes.

Under typical viewing conditions, we can easily group materials into distinct classes (e.g., woods, plastics, textiles). Additionally, we can also make many other judgments about material properties (e.g., hardness, rigidity, colorfulness). Although these two types of judgment (classification and inferring material properties) have different requirements, they likely facilitate one another. We ...

During the seventeenth century, several apparently very disparate reasons were advanced for a believing that there is an important distinction between primary and secondary qualities. The most prominent were (1) the overall explanatory success of a physical science which refers only to primary qualities (2) the mathematical expressibility of primary but not secondary qualities, and (3) the immu...
