Abstract

the plinth facades are suffering many problems resulting from the individual attempts to design the plinth between monotony design and chaos one without consider the history and the character of the street; these states caused a lack of visual stimulation for the pedestrians that translated into weakness and sometimes the absence of the visual perception of the plinth, little attention has been directed toward determine the good plinth aesthetics principles through arrange and order of its facades elements to achieve good visual perception. Thus, the purpose of the present study is to develop a suggested conceptual framework for enhancing the plinth facades to achieve the urbanities visual perception. The research methodology is based on two approaches; the theoretical study which identify the plinth facades elements and the aesthetics principles, and the analytical approach by using case study of "Al- Moudiria" St located in Tanta city. Data collected from the observation and the interviews were analyzed. The findings indicate that the elements of the plinth facades (Materials- colors- base panel- pilasters- fascia- openings- awnings- lightings and singes) should be arranged according to the sense of the place and the aesthetics principles (composition- scale- rhythm- balance and symmetry- transparency) to achieve a good plinth which improve the urbanities visual perception of the plinth.
