| Abstract |
Recently, architecture is becoming more diverse in design and unique and diverse patterns are increasing in contemporary buildings. These pattern decorations of architecture are sometimes attractive, but they are stressful with excessive design. The images of self-similarity generated from nature are similar to the whole, with small parts similar to large parts. According to previous studies, Fractal images which are self-similar, produces a positive response when appropriate complexity is present and provides the effect of relieving stress. This paper is based on previous findings that the self - similar fractal image, which has a morphological characteristic of nature, has a positive effect on humans. The purpose of this paper is to analysis correlation of complexity and preference from building cases which has self-similar patterns and to propose a guideline for designing through adjust of complexity. Three cases of contemporary architecture with various complexity were selected and analyzed. Then, questionnaires were conducted through emotional vocabulary and analyze psychological responses and preferences about degree of complexity. Finally, if the complexity is intermediate, the preference is the highest and the most positive emotion is brought, and if the complexity is high, the psychological positive effect could not be expected. This paper focuses on identifying the degree of complexity that positively affects people. This study is psychological aspect according to the complexity of the pattern, it could be helpful for the design which can reduce the stress and increase the preference of the modern people in the pattern design of the building in the future. |
