OBS

«intrusion visuelle», sur le modèle de «intrusion humaine» («human intrusion») est le terme qui convient si le contexte est celui où l'on désire soustraire les installations à la vue de personnes non autorisées. Cependant, si le contexte est celui où l'on désire cacher des installations en raison de leur laideur, il vaut mieux parler de «nuisance visuelle».
