ABSTRACT
The aim of this st11dy is to assess glazed tile's cladding (azulejos) qualities in urban spaces, to identifY its perceptive potential as an ergonomic aspect in urban environment, allowing a more intentional and consistent use of the azulejo. Sight sense in human interpretation of physical reality is crucial. In the mental process of spatial organization, differences in the visual perceptive field have an important role. Perception variation, synchronic or diachronic, is crucial in this interpretation process. A psychometric measurement of glazed tile's cladding is being conducted in order to produce conclusions that improve the product design (of glazed tiles), and environmental design process.
