“…Especially in the field of automotive design, Coughlan and Mashman (1999) suggested that design evaluation protocols that rely on a one-time evaluation may provide misleading information to designers and design decision-makers about consumer enthusiasm for a given design over its production lifetime. In recent years, the focus of relevant research has gradually shifted to exploring how to improve the scheme in the design process based on its performance evaluation (Cheshmehzangi, 2016;Lin & Twu, Creates a half-covered district with a combination of virtuality and reality and a transparent space, of which the designed structure is not only light and transparent but also solid and stable to construct a good sense of enclosure Ferdous (2013), and Özgüner and Kendle (2006) Water feature (E 2 )…”

A built environment with high-quality esthetic expression can positively contribute to key agendas of urban development. Environmental design is the design of physical environments that mainly respond to people’s behavioral needs and sensory preferences based on environment–behavior relations. Practitioners in this industry often work on esthetic quality improvement. Although previous studies have provided valuable knowledge about important elements of built environment esthetic expression, limited research efforts have been devoted to building a systematic framework that comprises key evaluation elements with high local adaptability and the influence relationships among them. The standards and preferences of esthetic expression in environmental design scheme evaluation are context-based. Providing an effective way to clarify evaluation elements with high local adaptability and the relationships among them may help reduce ambiguity, enhance consensus, and increase efficiency in the decision-making process. Therefore, this study adopted the esthetic expression evaluation of environmental design in China as an example and produced a hybrid decision analysis model by integrating the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM), exploratory factor analysis (EFA), analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method to evaluate the esthetic expression of environmental design schemes. A hierarchical evaluation framework composed of 5 dimensions and 18 evaluation elements was constructed in this study. The key design elements under each dimension and the influence relationships among them were also identified. This paper offers insights into the theoretical investigation and practical development of a systematic evaluation of the esthetic expression of environmental design schemes.

“…The experts' views also are very important in the built environment based on their engagement of logical reasoning as a result of prior architectural training (Arifin&Sitorus, 2019).A correlation of both the users' and experts' evaluations can result in an objective position for an overall understanding and implementation of building façade design and construction practice. Relationship studies between experts and users' perception exists for different building typologies in Visual Quality Assessment (Arifin & Sitorus, 2019;Liu & Chuang, 2014;Ferdous, 2013;Ghomeshi, Nikpour, & Jusan, 2012). For instance, Safarova, Pirko, Jurík, Pavlica, and Nemeth (2019) engaged students and young architects in the investigation of their aesthetic opinion on residential building facades visual quality judgements.…”

“…Gungor and Polat (2018) in a landscape visual quality study also adopted the psychophysical approach by engaging a group of 115 experts in selecting the photographs for the study, while 230 students were involved in the main study. Ferdous (2013) with a similar approach also engaged experts and other respondents in a study of the connection between urban plazas aesthetic response and visual characteristics. In the light of these studies, it is clear to see that researchers have focused on experts and users independently; those with comparative study were on different building types; and different study location.…”

Buildingsare designed to meet users' expectation in terms of space functionality and visual aesthetics. Space functionality requirement of users is often more considered over their visual expectations especially for public buildings. The design experts' views are often imposed on building facades of public buildings as a means of showcasing their expertise rather than meeting the users' expectation. In establishing users' expectation from a public building façade, this study seeks to investigate the similarities and differences between users' and experts perception of the university senate building façade visual quality assessment in southwest Nigeria. This is targeted at establishing the relationship between these two groups to create a better understanding of façade design requirements for future application in architectural education and practice.The study adopted the cross-sectional survey research approach. Ten university senate building facades were selected using the stratified random sampling. Quantitative data were sourced from 577 users and 21 experts through a closed ended questionnaire, aided by selected façade photographs to elicit responses. Data were analysed using the Mann Whitney U Test. Great similarity was recorded between the users' and experts' perception. However, the differences recorded are indications that the experts still have the responsibility of understanding the users' opinion for successful project execution.

The results of analysis of urban space symbols that facilitated the change and formation of Krasnoyarsk urban environment in the early 21st century are presented in this article. The purpose of this analysis was to determine the transformation of material, behavioral and iconographic symbols of urban environment as characteristics of the rationally organized territory of Krasnoyarsk in the period from 2000 to 2019. The method of urban symbolic ecology, which allows to consider the properties of the iconic objects of urban environment in a comprehensive manner was chosen for the analytical review of the urban environment. Based on the conducted research, conclusions about urban space transformation connected with the new development of the previous iconic symbols and appearance of new material and behavioral ones were made. The study results indicate of the appearance of the increasing number of objects and events aimed at the development of leisure activities in Krasnoyarsk. The data obtained can be applied for further comprehensive analysis of Krasnoyarsk, as well as other Russian cities’ urban environment
