“…It enables us to selectively process visual scenes that consist of both relevant and irrelevant information [47]. This selectively is significant, because human capacity to process visual information is limited in various ways [11,12]. Visual attention can be categorised into three types: spatial attention, feature-based attention and object-based attention.…”

“…Visual attention is processed either overtly or covertly and deals with either a particular character of an object or of an entire object [47]. As past observation research has been unable to reveal these selective processes in vision or visual experience (e.g., [1,4,6]), eye-tracking technologies have been used to more precisely capture eye movements and fixations in response to varying façade designs [12][13][14][15].…”

“…Specifically, a façade design contains a combination of perceptual and geometric information, which can be regarded as a set of visual stimuli. Human attention affects perception [11], because attention processes respond to the visual stimuli, shaping our visual experience and behaviour [5,[12][13][14][15]. Thus, exploring the visual complexity of, and our visual attention to, a façade during the early conceptual or schematic design stages not only plays a significant role in visual design thinking processes, but also enables predicting visual perception of the design.…”

“…For over a century, visual attention has been studied in psychology, neurophysiology and perceptual science [11]. In the fields of architecture and urban design, visual attention has been explored through the use of eye-tracking technology [5,[12][13][14]. Importantly, such research shows how pre-attentive processing in vision can reveal the ways the visual stimuli of a building facade instantly attract the eyes, and thereby predict visual experience and human behaviours [24].…”

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. Thus, this paper examines the viability of using two computational methods to examine potential visual stimulus-sensation relationships in facade design. The first method, fractal analysis, is used to holistically measure the visual stimuli of a design. This paper describes both the box counting (density) and differential box counting (intensity) approaches to determining fractal dimension (D) in architecture. The second method, visual attention simulation, is used to explore pre-attentive processing and sensation in vision. Four measures—D-density (Dd), D-intensity (Di), heat map and gaze sequence—are used to provide quantitative and qualitative indicators of the ways people read different design options. Using two façade designs as examples, the results of this application reveal that the D values of a façade image have a relationship with the pre-attentive processing shown in heat map and gaze sequence simulations. The findings are framed as a methodological contribution to the field, but also to the disciplinary knowledge gap about the stimulus-sensation relationship and visual reasoning in design.

“…The images are used to clarify the response behavior of the visual system to different objects by analyzing the trajectory of eye movement characteristics, such as saccades, gaze time and pupil switching. In recent years, this technology has been gradually used in the fields of furniture and architectural design [40,41]. In this study, to investigate the effect of natural resin rosin modification on face visual effect of round bamboo culm, the color and gloss of bamboo culm be after rosin modification were quantitatively determined.…”

Rosin was used to treat round bamboo culm using the impregnation method. The quantitative color and gloss measurements combined with a qualitative eye tracking experiment were used to evaluate the effect of rosin treatment under different temperatures on the visual characteristics of the bamboo surface. Surface morphology analysis was also used to explore the mechanism of modification. The results showed that proper heating of the modified system was conducive to the formation of a continuous rosin film, which increased the gloss value. The maximum gloss value of 19.6 achieved at 50 °C was 122.7% higher than the gloss value of the control group. Heating decreased the brightness of the bamboo culm and changed the color from the green and yellow tones to red and blue. Additionally, at temperatures higher than 60 °C, the bamboo epidermal layer was damaged or shed, and stripes formed on the culm surface. The density of these stripes increased with an increase in treatment temperature. Eye movement experiment and subjective evaluation showed that high gloss would produce dazzling feeling, such as at 50 °C, while low gloss will appear dim, such as at 80 °C, while the gloss at 40 °C and 60 °C were appropriate. Additionally, the solid color surface below 60 °C had a large audience of about 73%, and the striped surface above 60 °C was preferred by 27% of the subjects.
