Abstract—The purpose of this paper is to deepen
understanding of the variables working in the perception
process of a newly integrated building in an urban heritage area.
The paper examines user’s perceptions of the newly designed
building façades from the angle of insertion in its environment.
We tried to understand how physical features impact on
perception of building insertion quality.
On that purpose, we conducted a survey on architecture
students familiar with the site. The analyses of the
research-helped de highlight relevant variable when designing a
new building in an urban heritage area.
This article reviews formal and symbolic variables in order
to find out the correlation with the evaluative Reponses. We
scope our research regarding the insertion of a building in an
urban heritage area and we focus in especially with the building
exteriors in the mean of producing design recommendation
based on aesthetic variables.
Index Terms—Integration, perceptional study, urban
heritage area, façade design.
