Resumen


Resumen

Este estudio forma parte del proyecto mateMad que tiene como objetivo optimizar los materiales urbanos para hacer que los barrios desfavorecidos sean más habitables y sostenibles. El objetivo de este estudio preliminar es analizar la atención visual y el compromiso humano-fachada hacia las fachadas de edificios en barrios desfavorecidos en Madrid con el fin de crear barrios hermosos, sostenibles e inclusivos. La falta de simetría a lo largo del eje vertical y un tamaño geométrico no similar de las ventanas, mantenimiento deficiente, falta de transparencia de las ventanas y homogeneidad en color y textura resultaron en una mayor angustia subjetiva reportada, mientras que la simetría horizontal/vertical y la misma forma/tamaño de ventana resultaron en menos angustia. 

Abstract

This study is part of the mateMad project that aims to optimize urban materials to make deprived neighbourhoods more liveable and sustainable. The objective of this preliminary study is to analyse visual attention and human-façade engagement towards building façades in deprived neighbourhoods in Madrid to the end of creating beautiful, sustainable, and inclusive neighbourhoods. A lack of symmetry along the vertical axis and a-similar geometrical size of windows, poor maintenance, non-transparency of windows, and non-homogeneity in colour and texture resulted in more reported subjective distress, whereas horizontal/vertical symmetry and same window shape/size resulted in less.
