This book makes the extremely complex process of architectural
perception far more transparent and thus contributes to a better
understanding of our built environment. Why is there so much debate
about the appearance of our built environment, about the aesthetics
of architecture today? Why do opinions about the aesthetic quality
of buildings often diverge extremely even among experts? Why can't
we agree on architecture, on what is beautiful and what is not?
Most areas of construction, such as statics and building physics,
are measurable and can therefore be substantiated with objective
arguments. Yet this does not apply to the unquantifiable aesthetics
of architecture. Accordingly, judgments on aesthetics are always
subject-specific, and strongly dependent on the viewer.
Nevertheless, the aesthetics of architecture is not just a matter
of taste. Many relationships between buildings as objects and
viewers as subjects can be determined objectively with the help of
perceptual psychology and information theory, as this book
demonstrates.
