Abstract

In reports one and two, studies were carried out on different levels concerning the iconology of house facades seeking to classify them into different groups. In this report, the focus will be on the similarity between groups derived by looking at two different aspects of the same subject sample in order to find the main types of groups these house facades fall into. This was achieved by performing a three-mode factor analysis on both the nine perceptual scales used in report one, and the four categories in report two. The building groupings were established by changing the number of factors (variables). As a result, it was found that the buildings under investigation could be divided into seven groups, which were included in both the nine scales and the four categories. In addition, it was found that these seven building groups showed similarities to the types derived in reports one and two. In other words, similarity between building groups not categorized in reports one and two was discovered. As a result of the three-mode factor analysis, these buildings were shown to form a group which suggests another factor. Combining the results so far in this report, seven groups of house facades have been found. Finally, the basic character and image of each group was clarified by arranging the phenomena occurring in the sum of the nine scales and four categories of the seven types, and giving them a possible societal interpretation.
