Place attachment: How far have we come in the last 40 years?
TL;DR: A review of several hundred empirical and theoretical papers and chapters reveals that despite mobility and globalization processes, place continues to be an object of strong attachments as discussed by the authors, and the main message of the three components of the tripartite model of place attachment (Scannell & Gifford, 2010a ), the Person component has attracted disproportionately more attention than the Place and Process components.
Journal ArticleDOI
The structure of pattern languages
TL;DR: How to validate existing pattern languages, how to develop them, and how they evolve are described are described.

Reduction of Physiological Stress Using Fractal Art and Architecture
TL;DR: Preliminary research indicating that mid-range fractals also affect the observer's physiological condition is presented, and the potential for incorporating these fractals into art and architecture as a novel approach to reducing stress is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical image properties of print advertisements, visual artworks and images of architecture
TL;DR: It is shown that, on average, images of advertisements and artworks share a similar degree of complexity (fractal dimension) and self-similarity, as well as similarities in the Fourier spectrum, but images of advertisement are more anisotropic than artworks.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Pattern Measure
TL;DR: Numerical measures for evaluating the aesthetic interest of simple patterns, related to verbal descriptors derived from work by psychologists on responses to visual environments, are proposed.
