1. BUILDING FORM , MASSING, HEIGHT AND SCALE

This refers to the overall shape

and size of buildings, as well as
the way they are arranged in
relation to each other. The
height and scale of buildings
can also have a significant
impact on perceptual qualities.
 EXAMPLE:
Tall buildings can
create a sense of
grandeur and
monumentality. For
example, the
skyscrapers of the
financial district in
Lower Manhattan, New
York City, create a sense
of power and
excitement.

Smaller buildings can

create a more intimate
and welcoming
atmosphere. For
example, the row
houses of Georgetown,
Washington, D.C.,
create a sense of charm
and neighborhood
2. BUILDING MATERIALS, TEXTURE AND FINISHES

The materials and textures used in

the construction of buildings and
other elements can also have a
significant impact on the physical
character of a place. For example,
guidelines may specify that
traditional materials such as brick
and stone be used in new
development or that public spaces
be designed with a variety of textures
to create a sense of interest and
vitality. Another example is the,
natural materials such as wood and
stone can create a sense of warmth
and authenticity, while modern
materials such as glass and steel can
create a more sleek and
contemporary look.
EXAMPLE:
Natural materials such
as wood and stone can
create a sense of
warmth and
authenticity. For
example, the wooden
houses of the historic
district in Annapolis,
Maryland, create a sense
of nostalgia and charm.

Modern materials such

as glass and steel can
create a more sleek and
contemporary look. For
example, the glass and
steel skyscrapers of the
Pudong district in
Shanghai, China, create
a sense of modernity
and innovation.
3. PUBLIC ART AND NATURE

Public art and street furniture

can also be used to add
character and interest to a place.
For example, guidelines may
specify that new development
include public art or that public
spaces be furnished with
benches, tables, and other
elements that encourage people
to gather and socialize.
4. COLOR

Color can also be used to

create a desired physical
character. For example,
guidelines may specify
that buildings in a
particular area be painted LAUNCH
in specific colors or that
public spaces be
designed with bright and
vibrant colors to create a
sense of fun and
excitement.
5. BLOCK SIZE AND SHAPE

The size and shape of blocks

can also influence perceptual
qualities. For example, large
blocks can create a sense of
openness and expansiveness,
while small blocks can create a
more intimate and human-scale
environment.
EXAMPLE:
Large blocks can
create a sense of
openness and
expansiveness. For
example, the large
blocks of the Central
Park neighborhood in
New York City create
a sense of
spaciousness and
grandeur.

Small blocks can

create a more intimate
and human-scale
environment. For
example, the small
blocks of the North
Beach neighborhood in
San Francisco,
California, create a
sense of community
and livability.
6. PUBLIC SPACES AND AMENITIES

Public spaces such as parks,

plazas, and other gathering
places can play a vital role in
defining the perceptual qualities
of a place. Well-designed public
spaces can provide opportunities
for recreation, relaxation, and
social interaction, and they can
also help to create a sense of
place and community.
 EXAMPLE:
Well-designed public spaces
can provide opportunities for
recreation, relaxation, and
social interaction, and they
can also help to create a
sense of place and
community. For example,
Central Park in New York City
is a popular destination for
people of all ages to enjoy a
variety of activities, such as
walking, biking, picnicking,
and people-watching.
Public spaces can also
be used to celebrate local
culture and heritage. For
example, the National
Mall in Washington, D.C.,
is home to a variety of
monuments and
memorials that tell the
story of American history.
7. LIGHTING AND SIGNAGE

Lighting and signage can also

influence the perceptual qualities
of a place. Proper lighting can
make a place feel safer and more
SKETCHES
inviting, while well-designed
signage can help people to find
their way around and understand
the uses and functions of different
CODING
spaces.

TESTING
EXAMPLE:
Proper lighting can Well-
make a place feel designed
safer and more signage can
inviting. For example, help people to
the well-lit streets of find their way
Tokyo, Japan, make it around and
easy for people to understand the
walk around at night uses and
without feeling functions of
unsafe. different
spaces. For
example, the
clear and
concise
signage at the
Hong Kong
International
Airport makes
it easy for
travelers to
navigate the
airport and
find their way
to their flights.
8. VEGETATION

Vegetation such as trees,

shrubs, and flowers can
also contribute to the
perceptual qualities of a
place. Vegetation can
soften the built
environment, provide
shade and shelter, and
improve air quality.
EXAMPLE:
Vegetation can soften the
built environment, provide
shade and shelter, and
improve air quality. For
example, the tree-lined
streets of Paris, France,
create a sense of beauty
and elegance.

Vegetation can also be

used to create natural
spaces within the city. For
example, Stanley Park in
Vancouver, Canada, is a
large urban park that
provides a variety of
recreational opportunities,
such as hiking, biking, and
swimming.
9. STREET LAYOUT

The arrangement of streets,

sidewalks, and other public spaces
in an urban environment can
influence a variety of perceptual
qualities, including imageability,
visual enclosure, human scale, and
complexity. For example, a street
layout with a clear hierarchy and
identifiable landmarks can create a
sense of imageability, while a
TESTING
street layout with narrow streets
and tall buildings can create a
sense of visual enclosure.
 EXAMPLE:
A street layout with a
clear hierarchy and
identifiable landmarks can
create a sense of
imageability. For example,
the grid layout of
Manhattan, New York
City, makes it easy to
navigate and remember.
The iconic landmarks such
as the Empire State
Building and the Statue of
Liberty make the city even
more memorable.

A street layout with

narrow streets and tall
buildings can create a sense
of visual enclosure. For
example, the narrow streets
and tall buildings of the Old
Town in Edinburgh,
Scotland, create a sense of
intimacy and mystery.
10. LANDSCAPING

Landscaping can also be used

to define the physical
character of a place. For
example, guidelines may
specify that a certain
percentage of new
development be dedicated to
green space or that public
spaces TESTING
be planted with trees
and other vegetation to create
a sense of lushness and
tranquility
CONCLUSION
All of these physical characters can interact with each
other to create a unique and memorable experience for
people who use a space.
When designing urban spaces, it is important to consider
the perceptual qualities that one wants to create. By
carefully considering the physical characters of a place,
urban design can create spaces that are more livable,
sustainable, and enjoyable for everyone.
