Fractal Dimension Calculation and Visual Attention Simulation: Assessing the Visual Character of an Architectural Façade [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The design of a building façade has a significant impact on the way people respond to it physiologically and behaviourally. Few methods are available to assist an architect to understand such impacts during the design process.
