I. DESIGN
A. Appropriateness of design to surroundings (20 points):
1.
Is style consonant with the degree of formality of large
adjacent plantings and architecture in civic or historic areas, or with
naturalistic plantings in rural or residential areas?
2.
Are color, form and texture used functionally
· to link areas of
the city
· to identify a
business area, or
· to harmonize with
colors of adjacent buildings, or
· to distract from
something ugly?
B. Appropriateness of scale of design to
viewpoint of intended audience (10 points.):
1.
Car occupant’s view is 4-1/2 feet above street.
2.
Pedestrians have higher, more varied viewpoints.
3.
Tenants of tall buildings see overall design.
C. Appropriateness of scale of design to
velocity of viewers (5 points):
1.
People moving at over 20 mph see only broad effects--two
colors or textures.
2.
Drivers can appreciate more detail at stoplights, bus
stops and in traffic jams.
3.
Pedestrians enjoy subtle variations.
