Abstract: | Although architects tend to get carried away by the general aesthetics of a project, it is fundamental to keep in touch with the response of the user towards the design in question. Every individual is unique, reflecting the fact that everybody perceives and responds differently to a particular design. Human perception is a way of interpreting and understanding what surrounds oneself. Consequently, this determines one's experience and reaction to life. It can be posited that design is mainly conceived from three forms; line, curve and angle. To each of these forms, one may attribute a respective parameter, dependent on the rate of change of each form. Thus, the line could be associated with monotony/ neutrality, the curve with gentleness, and the angle as promoting aggressiveness. Consequently, these forms shall be broken down into mathematical terms. |
