Tolerance to Urban Window Views with Various Design Features by Živa Kristl, Ajda Fošner, Martina Zbašnik-Senegačnik

“…This survey addresses a research gap on unfavourable reactions to window views in dense urban environments, where the distance between buildings enables only the view of the neighbouring façade, and also the question of which architectural visual elements specifically trigger them. The typical variables of the studied window views are the various degrees of maintenance, compositional quality, surface quality, activity dynamics, and complexity. …”
