VARIATIONS OF VISUAL IMPRESSION IN CORNER SPACE OF THE STOREFRONTS IN DAIKANYAMA, TOKYO

Abstract

This study aims to clarify the visual impression found in the corner space of the storefronts in Daikanyama, Tokyo. The data collection uses a combined method of mapping, photograph and questionnaire. Firstly, the combination of spatial components and visual proportion will illustrate the characteristics of spatial composition. Secondly, the combination of visual appeal and visual depth will construct the patterns of spatial perception. Finally, the types of visual impressions will emerge from the combination of spatial composition and perception. Further, their variation in the distribution between different areas will be discussed with the architectural group forms in the Daikanyama streetscape.
