Abstract

Pattern is a visually important element in designing an architectural facade. The digital pattern design such as a facade is deeply related to aesthetic characteristics in architecture and interior design. However, the lack of research on a systematic design process for digitalized pattern design such a facade, poses a problem for designers. This research provides emotional characteristics on five types of architectural facade pattern: applied, perforated, layered, cast, and tiled. The analysis is based on an existing study that briefly analyzed their emotional characteristics, and this is combined with the results of other research on emotional characteristics of applied and perforated patterns. First, reviewing previous research reveals the reasons for selecting façade pattern types classified by Ben Pell and determines their classification criteria, the definitions, the general characteristics and the representative projects of the five types of architectural facade. Second, the survey method from existing research is used to establish targets, method, and analysis. Third, general information of survey respondents is analyzed in terms of gender, age, education, occupation, and experience. Results represent emotional characteristics by case and by type of digital pattern design of architectural facade and reveal a correlation between determined emotional characteristics by type and by case. After deriving their correlations, this study finally determines the emotional characteristics by type and case. Emotional responses are then presented by type and case. Fourth, the results are compared and analyzed with those of existing research. The results in the emotional characteristics show that the applied and layered patterns are continuous and discontinuous-continuous, respectively, the perforated pattern is irregular and irregular-regular, and the cast and tiled patterns are regular and irregular-regular, respectively. In the comparison of the average value by facade pattern design type, based on the results and as a design concept, a continuous continuity is more suitable for the layered pattern than the applied pattern, a regular regularity is more appreciated for the cast pattern than the tiled pattern, and an irregular regularity is good for designing the perforated pattern.
