Abstract

The purpose of this study is to clarify the combined effect of visual and auditory factors on the facade design evaluation of buildings in urban areas. We conducted three psychological experiments. In the last experiment, nine kinds of slides of buildings in Kyoto city adjusted to one level of traffic noise (LAeq 60 dB), and two levels of road (with or without), cars and passerby (with or without), were presented to the subjects. Evaluation was made on seven point scales of 20 pairs of adjectives by Semantic Differential method. The result showed that the buildings used in the two experiments were classified into the following three categories; Japanese style, Western style, and contemporary style. The difference in the evaluation between each category was shown.
