How do you Feel Here? Studying our Visual Impression of Urban Spaces using a Multidisciplinary Approach
Team Building, User Interviews, Data Analysis
How do people experience urban spaces? What do we mean by referring to a space as "open", "relaxing" or "exciting"? In attempt to answer such questions, a novel approach for studying human impression of urban spaces is being developed. The study integrates insights from architectural theory, gaze analysis, spatial analysis and subjective reports. This synthesis yields important insights into our subjective impression of urban spaces.
