DYNAMISM OF VIEW-OUT

IN RELATION TO DAYLIGHT

The importance of access to a view to the outdoors and exposure to daylight through a window on the health and well-being of building occupants has been recognized in the fields of building science and environmental psychology. Especially for urban citizens who spend most of their time indoors, the long-term health implications for having a quality view and a sufficient amount of daylight are profound. Although the level of satisfaction with a view-out is inherently subjective and observer-dependent, a recent study by Ko et al. (2021) has defined visual access, clarity, and content to be the three determining factors for view quality. Furthermore, previous studies have suggested that certain features of the view content result in a higher quality, including dynamism, such as human-related activity, traffic, natural and weather-related movements. However, the extent to which movement and daylight in views provides occupants with further awareness of their surroundings has not yet been investigated. Similarly, there is a limited number of existing view-out indicators and research methodologies that acknowledge dynamic and temporal aspects of the view. In addressing the current gap in research on view-out, this thesis aims to examine specific effects of dynamism in relation to daylight on view appreciation through the use of fisheye lens videos and VR technology.
