Importance of murals in beautifying residential buildings and their impact on urban aesthetics

Abstract

Murals have been associated with architecture and urbanism throughout human history with its various civilizations. They are at the heart of the fabric of architecture and urbanism and participate fundamentally in the embellishment of their building facades. The importance of urbanism lies in what murals offer in terms of different themes that make them capable of changing the feeling about buildings and beautifying their facades. Murals are considered one of the most important visual determinants in any space in addition to their role as an element of aesthetics necessary for any architectural entity. They are also used to express the social and cultural identity of societies and are a powerful means of linking the past and present and documenting the most important events affecting society and its inhabitants. This research paper provides an analysis of the different aspects that must be taken into account when designing murals in urban areas. Design considerations, scientific and technical standards that govern the basics of mural design, and how they should be employed as one of the elements of space in an integrated system that designers should consider when drawing murals according to a concept that is consistent with architecture and urbanism. The research aims to achieve the foundations of mural design by designing and implementing murals in residential cities that improve the behavior of residents. In this paper the aim of this research is to explore the basics of designing murals by implementing them in residential areas. The goal is to improve the behavior of residents through the use of these murals. The research hypotheses are that modifying or adding design principles to existing murals in residential areas can improve public taste and lead to better behavior among residents. And finally, we add an attempt to develop a strategy and principles for designing and implementing murals in a coordinated manner on the facades of urban buildings according to a proposed classification for beautifying cities and positively influencing people’s behavior.
