الوصف: | This paper presents a computational method for spatial visualization and probability evaluations of window view access in architecture based on human eyes’ vision fields and biophilic recommendations. Window view access establishes occupants’ visual connections to outdoors. Window view access has not, yet, been discussed in terms of the typical vision fields and related visual experiences. Occupants’ views of outdoors could change from almost blocked and poor to good, wide, and immersive visions in relation to the binocular focus to monocular (far-) peripheral sights of human eyes. The proposed methodological framework includes spatial visualizations and cumulative distribution functions of window view access based on visual experiences of occupants. The framework is integrated with biophilic recommendations and existing rating systems for view evaluations. As a pilot study, the method is used to evaluate occupants’ view access in a space designed with 15 different configurations of windows and overhangs. Results characterize likelihood of experiencing various field of views (FOVs) in case studies. In particular, window-to-wall-area ratios of between 40% and 70% offer optimum distributions of view access in space by offering 75% likelihoods of experiencing good to wide views and less than 25% probabilities of exposing to poor and almost blocked views. Results show the contribution of the proposed method to informative decision-making processes in architecture. |
