The Process of perception begins with an object in the real

world,termed the distal stimulus ordistal object.

By means of light, sound or another physical process. The resulting mental recreation of distal stimulus is the percept.

A person looking at a shoe. The shoe it self is the distal

stimulus. When light from the shoe enters a person's eye

and stimulates their retina, the image of shoe

reconstucted by the brain of the person is the percept.

Perception vary from person to person. Different people

perceive different things about the same situation. But

more than that, we assign different meanings to what we

perceive. And the meanings might change for a certain

person. One might change ones perspective or simply makethings mean something else.

Some people see a young lady lookingaway. Others see an old lady lookingdown. Depending on how you look at it,part of the picture might be the youngwomens nose and eyelash, or it mightbe a wart on the old womans nose.

What is the young womans ear mightbe the old womans eye. What is theyoung womans necklace might be theold womans mouth.

The picture hasnt really changed. youjust emphasize different part andassign them different meaning.

We fill in a lot of blanks with our minds. If

we have incomplete perceptions, which wepractically always do to a certain extent ,

our minds fill in the rest.

Do you see a vase or do you see two faces

looking at each other?

The meaning of something will change

when you look at it differently. You can look

at anything differently and it will have a

different meaning.

There is no fixed meaning to anything. You

can always change perspectives and change

meanings. Why not change them to what

you prefer them to be?

We perceive objects as well-

organized patterns rather than

separate components.

sum of its parts.

Based on the concept of

grouping.

VISUAL

PERCEPTION


13/15

We impose order and structure on what we see.

Our expectancies affect how we interpret sensor input.

Gestalt theory allows communicators to predict how viewers will respond

to design elements.

visual perception was a result of organizing sensual elements or formsinto various groups.

Major Gestalt principle of perceptual organization We divide world into 2parts

1.Figure -Has shape & location in space

2.Ground -Has no definite shape and seems to continue beyond figure


14/15

Selective Perception-People selectively interpret what they see on thebasis of theirinterests,background,experience,andattitudes.

The lines are naturally

grouped as a 3D cube.

perception and phenomenology and illustrated with a

series of case studies of architectural representations.

Its origins to its contemporary application in architecture

and provides an in-depth understanding of how and why

they have a defining impact on the design process and the
