| Abstract |
This study makes a system to quantify the visual and tactile texture under the name of tensity, searches applicable ways by analyzing actual examples, and ultimately looks for the possibilities for theoretical approach of texture quantification. Finishing materials with low tensity from texture make space more comfortable and let people stay longer in the area, on the other hand, high tensity finishing materials stimulate people's curiosity and give caution and strong impact about the area. In conclusion, high tensity materials are suitable for public and active space and low tensity are for private and static area. This principle enables us to use architectural materials as one of the important elements which express the whole characteristics of the area. And, by using two more materials which have different tensity each other, space may play an intentional role, or it may give changes by using similar tensity materials. With the tensity figure and application of the social images into design expression, this study introduces more reasonable guideline for material selection. |
