Confort visual: la legibilidad en el pavimento urbano

Abstract

La tesina “Confort visual: La legibilidad en los pavimentos urbanos” tiene como objetivo medir el grado de legibilidad de los pavimentos urbanos. En primer lugar, se define la legibilidad como la facilidad que ofrece un pavimento para interpretar una información asociada a un diseño, cualidad que se hace posible si se mantienen algunos parámetros como el uso del contraste de color, textura y luminancias. A mayor resultado de relación de luminancias mayor será la legibilidad. Para ello, se planteó una metodología precisa que consistió en ubicar estratégicamente las bases en diferentes momentos del día para ver la actuación del pavimento con las diferentes condiciones lumínicas naturales y artificiales. Se utilizó Lumin y Photoshop para el posterior análisis de luminancias y por último se precisaron las conclusiones en un gráfico que muestra los valores de la relación de luminancias, las posiciones de las bases con relación a la orientación y los momentos del día en el que fueron analizados. Se concluyó que, principalmente, el uso del contraste de color es más legible en un pavimento urbano que el uso de contraste de texturas. Sin embargo, en una explanada abierta, con una condición determinada de reflexión directa de luz, el contraste de texturas pasa a ser más importante que el contraste de color.

The dissertation "Visual comfort: Legibility in urban pavements" aims to measure the degree of legibility of urban pavements. Firstly, legibility is defined as the ease with which a pavement offers to interpret information associated with a design, a quality that becomes possible if some parameters such as the use of color contrast, texture and luminance are maintained. The higher the luminance ratio, the better the legibility. For this, a precise methodology was used, which consisted of strategically placing the bases at different times of the day to see the performance of the pavement with the different natural and artificial lighting conditions. Lumin and Photoshop were used for the subsequent analysis of luminances and finally the conclusions were specified in a graph showing the values of the luminance ratio, the positions of the bases and the times of day in which they were analyzed. It was concluded that, mainly, the use of color contrast is more legible on an urban pavement than the use of texture contrast. However, in an open esplanade, with a certain condition of direct light reflection, texture contrast becomes more important than color contrast.
