Abstract

This paper discusses occlusion maps, or diagrams of isovists deployed in a plan field, which graphically describe an inhabitant's position-dependent perception of a building's visual permeability. Occlusion maps are shown here to be an important tool for analyzing the effect that additions to existing buildings have on this perception. The question is critical because additions invariably affect the visual permeability of their host buildings.
