1. URBAN APERTURE
INTRODUCTION
Every city is characterized by certain key vistas. Some of these vistas embrace either the entire city or a
substantial part of it, while other major views cover only a small but never the less an important portion
of the city
These views need a formal recognition, protection and enhancement of design plan
Visual impact is an important effect that a city has on those who live in it or those who visit it
If there is no aperture, a city might appear dull, uninteresting and soul-less.
Example: while walking through a road, past buildings, and as a corner is turned, an unsuspected
building is suddenly revealed. We may be surprised, even astonished by the composition of group of
buildings.
The arrangement of the group of buildings give a feeling of ‘I an inside IT’ or ‘I am entering IT’
For this purpose, every city needs survey and needs to evaluate its important views and draw up
a map with the objects and angles of views.
Also on the map, necessary corrections of elements and unsightly parts which need screening should
also be indicated
Dormant views,which if opened up could play a major visual role should also be noted.

2. AIM:
An attempt to understand how views are formed in a city. Different elements that help in encompassing
an area. Narrowing down the important aspects that are necessary to create an interesting view and
formulating proposals.
OBJECTIVE

and interesting.
SCOPE

1. Extent of the panorama
2. Symbolic importance
3. Distance from which it is perceived
4. Degree to which it is seen
5. Correspondence to the hierarchy of the city
METHODOLOGY
Data collection, literature study, live study
