“…This may be due to the construction materials of both initial buildings, which clearly performed better in the residential case than in the agricultural case (case B residential, Figure 3; case A agricultural, Figure 4). In studies on the visual impact of a building based on its visual design elements, the "construction materials" study variable has been shown to have a significant contribution [11,36,44,[56][57][58]. However, the impacts resulting from this aspect were not assessed or measured in this study.…”

Rural tourism has led to an increase in the number of buildings, meaning that visual integration of these buildings into the landscape is not always achieved. The silhouettes of buildings in rural areas are always recognisably simple but can be visually discordant if their sharpness is high. The literature provides analyses of how the visual impact of a given construction can be minimised by vegetation screening. The main objective of this study was to propose a method of quantifying the visual impact of isolated buildings (1 (low visual impact)–5 (high visual impact)). The method combines a measurement of the sharpness of building silhouette lines and vegetation screening (Scr) percentage (high or low) using theories based on the cognitive aspects of visual perception and digital image processing. The method was validated through a survey in which photos were shown to a wide range of respondents. A second objective was to analyse the combined effect on the visual perception of Scr and building colour (C), which is broadly analysed in the literature. The main result is that the required percentage of vegetation screening for a building with sharp lines and discordant colours to be accepted was determined to be around 40%. The proposed method can be applied by landscape planners; it is easy to use, and the cognitive principles on which it is based do not depend on the working environment.

“…The façade is normally a very visible part of a building and occupies a larger area than the roof [28,29]. Façade construction materials are normally chosen solely based on functional and financial criteria, and insulation and mechanical strength are typically more important than elements such as color in the choice of materials [30,31].…”

“…Other authors reported that agricultural buildings are normally rated lower than residential buildings, and one of the reasons for this may be the construction materials [14,54,64]. Using a suitable color to paint a building which, due to its typology, has no fine elements in its finishings such as tiles, stone, or wood can increase its rating [31]. In contrast, residential-winery buildings were expected to be rated higher than agricultural buildings because of their materials, but these typologies were rated the same when the façade color was white.…”

In recent decades, rural buildings have proliferated in the rural environment, in many cases clashing with the surroundings. One of the main objectives in rural areas must be to maintain a balance between economic and sustainable development. In the exterior design of buildings, it is necessary to follow technical and scientific criteria that respect the natural environment, and one of the most important parameters in this scenario is façade color. This article analyzes the costs of using different colors on façades and how color variations affect the integration of buildings in the rural landscape. It addresses the context of rural buildings in the Extremadura region of Spain, where large areas of undeveloped land are available to drive economic development. Ten technical projects and photos of buildings were used for the study. A palette of suitable colors developed and proposed in previous studies was used to improve the external finishes of the façades. The variation in cost was calculated between the current designs and improved alternatives simulated using infographs, and a survey was conducted to determine how the rating of the landscape integration changed. The analysis shows that a building façade in a suitable color is always a significantly better rated solution than a finish in white (by 9%–14%). The results obtained are important because they show that a small variation in the cost of a building can significantly increase the rating of its integration and, therefore, give value added to the intervention because it respects the natural environment.

This paper mainly discusses the combination strategy of traditional and modern design elements and applies them to the construction of beautiful rural landscapes. Take a village as an example to study the construction planning of beautiful rural landscapes. The analysis of the current situation of rural landscape construction planning and the villagers’ demand for rural roads, rural plant species and other aspects of the construction of the village summarize the outstanding problems that exist in the current construction. This paper aims to address the issue of low integration of traditional and modern elements in rural landscape construction by proposing a combination strategy like cross-cultural design. The villagers’ satisfaction is evaluated by using the AHP-entropy weight combination method and the TOPSIS-gray correlation analysis method to measure the effect of rural landscape construction under the guidance of traditional and modern elements combination strategy in this paper. It was found that the top three weights of the program level were rich plant species, a combination of traditional culture and modern elements, and a high degree of traditional culture inheritance, which indicated that they were more important for the evaluation of villagers’ satisfaction. From the correlation closeness, the gray correlation of the cultural heritage area is 0.872, and the satisfaction level is excellent. The satisfaction levels of other scenic sub-areas are all above 0.61 at a good level. The strategy of combining traditional and modern elements proposed in this paper can effectively meet the needs of villagers, as demonstrated by the rural landscape construction.
