Specification of Visual Requirements for Regularity of Joints
The weak spots in the performance of buildings are not so much the building materials, but rather the connections between them. Dimensional variations of products become particularly clear in the joints, where they can disrupt the regularity in facades or tiling.
This paper describes an aid that helps people to make proper decisions about visually acceptable deviations in measurements. With reference patterns and reference facades, the client and architect can indicate what kind of irregularity is maximally permissible. Depending on the specific concretisation (material, working details, contrasts) of a design, these requirements are turned into tolerances expressed in millimetres by means of a conversion table, thus meeting the required regularity. This tolerance should not be too broad which would make dimensional variations annoying, nor too narrow, which would result in unnecessary expenses.
