visual pollution  

Definición

  • The term visual pollution is usually applied to describe the negative effects of man-made structures on people's perception and enjoyment of the surrounding environment. The concept is subjective, because it depends on one's aesthetic views, but is often related to aspects such as the disruption of visibility, irregular or incoherent patterns, clutter, juxtaposition of different types of visual elements, and predominance of certain shapes and colors.
