Abstract

Kyoto is one of the most famous historical tourist cities, and Kyo-machiya that is the Japanese traditional house plays an important role in the street landscape in Kyoto. This study aims to reveal the preferred aging level of machiya facades in the central area of Kyoto city. We took photos of four Kyo-machiyas, and simulated fifteen kinds of aging facades of each machiya. By using the images, we conducted a subjective experiment in which the building facades were evaluated. Twenty female participants observed a facade image selected from 64 stimuli in random order, and evaluated it in terms of “oldness”, “unnaturalness”, “calmness”, “familiarity” and “preference”. The results show that the preference of building facade correlates with “calmness” and “familiarity”, and also that an appropriate oldness level for Kyo-machiya exists.
