Abstract
The problem of this study is to find out whether there is a sign system in suburban home landscape. Housing functions not only for use but also for sign which has effect on mentality of human life. But in a recentry according as the variety of construction become divergent, the type of housing stops to be visible and disorder among the visual forms disturbs the aim of housing area planning because planning is generally consisting in a conventional code which provides a proper signification for a type. With this in mind, this paper trys to make up a code through analyzing the correlativity among visual aspects or features collected from 120 detached houses. As a result of quantifying analysis based on matrix of binary features, the auther concludes that several types are visible on two significant units, i.e. [sightplan] [fasade].
