What the Current Case Means

In awareness of further contributions that could have been made by the urban environment, the 32 pedestrians were questioned if they think the overall urban environment affects their judgement of a particular building façade. 31 out of the 32 respondents, thought that the urban environment does indeed affect their judgment of a particular building façade.

4.1.2 WHAT THE CURRENT CASE MEANS

In a holistic view of the general pedestrian questionnaire results, three key points conclude what the current case means. The first, is that pedestrians are indeed affected by buildings’ façade design when in urban spheres. The investigation of such, highlighted that this is the case for the majority – where pedestrians have never been mentally or physically affected by a building façade, they form a minor percentage compared to those who have. The second point is that while certain aspects of building façades have the potential to impact pedestrians’ experience positively or negatively in stronger capacity than other aspects, a certain aspect may be the primary driver in both positive and negative experiences simultaneously, if examined regarding different individuals. It is acknowledged that this further depends on the characteristics of the facade aspect, but the concept nevertheless remains the same. Finally, pedestrians feel and are aware of, the urban environment’s capacity in impacting their subjective opinions about building façade designs.
