In this study, different building locations and colors were investigated to determine the effect on visual impact, as well as to examine the influence on visual preference. Photos depicting different building locations and colors were simulated by Adobe Photoshop and used as a stimulus to assess visual impact. The level of perceived obviousness was used in the study as a measure for assessing visual impact. One hundred respondents were requested to rate each photo for perceived obviousness and their preference using a seven point Likert scale. The results indicated that the ratings of perceived obviousness and preference for the buildings varied according to the location, with different ratings given to the same building when in different locations. Color contrast was also found to significantly correlate with obviousness and preference ratings. The findings of the study also revealed a correlation between preference and perceived obviousness. |
