| Abstract |
This study extends the research on the sensibility characteristics of the digital pattern design types of architectural facades, as classified by Ben Pell, in order to determine the sensibility characteristics most associated with the demographic characteristics-: gender, age, academic background, occupation, and career-. This study, as a follow-up to existing research, first briefly summarizes definitions for digitized pattern design types of architectural facades, survey targets, and methods, followed by reviewing previous research on demographic characteristics and analysis methods. Second, based on existing research, this study proposes a method for deriving sensibility characteristics from demographic characteristics. By this method, bipolar-sensibility words are selected for validity and reliability by SPSS’s factor analysis and reliability analysis, and the sensibility values of the extracted vocabularies calculated by using SPSS’s t-Test, as mean values, are derived. A significant difference with these derived bipolar-sensibility words are identified. Between the two derived sensibility vocabularies of the selected bipolar-sensibility words, the sensibility characteristics for each demographic characteristic of the pattern type are derived by using the bipolar-sensibility words with the highest sensibility values. Finally, the sensibility characteristics associated with the obtained demographic characteristics and pattern types are compared to earlier results and integrated with them. The sensibility characteristics found in this study were applied, perforated, layered, and cast pattern types. First, by gender, men were associated with “asymmetry” and women with “irregularity.” The sensibility characteristic for perforated pattern types was "irregularity," and the sensibility characteristic for layered and cast pattern types was “regular regularity” for both men and women. Second, age-specific sensibility characteristics were “discontinuity at the same time as continuity” and “asymmetry” in respondents aged 21 to 30 years, and “regularity” and “irregularity” in the age group of 31 to 45 years; characteristic for layered and cast pattern types was “regularity” for all age groups. Third, by academic background, sensibility characteristics were “asymmetry,” “discontinuity,” and “fluctuation” in university students and graduates, and “irregularity,” “irregularity,” and “regularity” in those with post-graduate education; “regularity” was the characteristic for cast pattern types for all academic background groups. Fourth, by occupation, sensibility characteristics were “asymmetry,” “irregularity,” and “regularity” in architecture and interior design-related occupations, and “regularity,” “irregularity,” and “continuity” in other workplaces. Cast pattern type was associated with “regularity” for all occupations. Fifth, by experience, sensibility characteristics were “irregularity” and “irregularity” for those with less than 1 to 10 years of experience, and “irregularity at the same time to be regularity” and “regularity” among those reporting no-career.
Layered and cast pattern types were derived from “regular regularity” for respondents in all careers. |
