On the visual aspect of the information scape in the built environment : Shilin Night Market as an example
Abstract:
How would a restaurant guest choose her favorite seat to dine in? How would prey animals place and
orient themselves when feeding on grassland where predators might be around? Is it possible that the answers to
the two questions might have similar traces of reasoning? Our perception of space is inherited from our ancestors,
who were capable of sensing danger and opportunities for food and mates in the environment. An information
scape is a representation of the flow of information that is accessible to a specific location in the environment. The
hypothesis is that the tendency to locate oneself at an advantageous information scape is a part of human nature.
The spatial experience of a person in a specific space can be diverse in terms of the availability of information
within the environment. The information can be acquired through various senses such as odor, vision, taste,
audition, and contact. Vision is the distinct sensory source of a humans perception of acquiring information in the
built environment. Isovist analysis is a useful measurement of the visible field from a specified location in
architectural and urban contexts. Isovist is adopted and extended in this study with Monte Carlo simulation to
analyze information scape in an urban space. Shilin night market in Taipei, one of the well-known business and
tourist attraction areas, exemplifies as the research area for information scape analysis. A measurement based on
information scape analysis is used to quantify the accessibility and availability of information regarding the visible
boundary from different spatial metrics of the Shilin environs. Overall, this paper displays that information scape
analysis has the potential for studying the complex interaction between spatial configuration and human behavior
in the aspect of information availability
