PERCEPTION OF STYLE INFLUENCES IN ARCHITECTURAL SPACE

Space Perception and Its Implication in Architectural Design

The paper intends to analyse the common ground between the field of visual perception and architectural design. The architectural product always addresses a user, who will react in a certain way towards the architectural object, towards built space, towards her/his environment in general. This relationship is bidirectional and its effects are visible both ways: we modify the environment through...

Style-Based Architectural Reconfigurations

We introduce Architectural Design Rewriting (ADR), an approach to deal with the design of reconfigurable software architectures. The key features we promote are: (i) rule-based approach (over graphs); (ii) hierarchical design; (iii) algebraic presentation; and (iv) inductivelydefined reconfigurations. Architectures are suitably modeled by graphs whose edges and nodes respectively represent comp...

Embodiment in Affective Space: Social Influences on Spatial Perception

Unlike social judgments, perceptual judgments are anchored in concrete reality and should not depend on social context. However, recent research suggests that perceptions of physical space can depend on social and emotional considerations. In contrast to theoretical approaches that view visual perception as a low-level process that is entirely independent of situational constraints, many studie...

Stimulus identity differentially influences the perception of space and time

Previous data indicate that individuals who continuously track a stimulus that suddenly vanishes indicate a vanishing point further ahead from where the stimulus actually vanished in the direction of momentum (Hubbard, 1995b). Implied forces (e.g., friction; Hubbard, 1995b) and typical motion (Reed & Vinson, 1996) have been shown to affect the perceptual planning associated with tracking a stim...
