Abstract

The functional separation of structure and skins in architecture has emerged in Gothic architecture. The Industrial Revolution accelerated the production of metal and glass, which led to the functional separation of structure from the skins becoming a common architectural design style after the 19th century. The architectural skins is liberated from the structure and assumes the role of expressing beauty. In this context, there are some suggestions on the visual design points of architectural skins and architectural structure given from the perspective of neuro-aesthetics in this paper. This study was conducted in accordance with the following procedure. First, The concept and experimental data related to fluency theory and aesthetic A-HA theory are used to determine human susceptibility to transparency. There is a way found to generate good feelings that is semi-translucent architectural skins. Second, Determine the ideal architectural features through the "Prospect and Refuge" model based on the "Embodiment Theory" and the "Dwelling Theory". Third, Analyze the visual role of semi-translucent architectural skins and building structure based on the "Prospect and Refuge" model from the perspective of symbolism. Fourth, Found the effect of expectation on memory representation in perceptual processing through the comparative analysis of aesthetic model. Fifth, Vitruvius's architectural theory regards utilitas(functionality), firmitas(strength), and venustas(aesthetics) as the expected universal values of architecture. Sixth, In terms of memory representation, some suggestions on the visual characteristics of building structures in buildings are proposed with translucent building skins. On this basis, this study puts forward the following suggestions. Buildings with semi-translucent skins are attractive. Semi-translucent building skins should indicate that it is supported by a solid structure. In terms of visual perception, the firmness of the structure on the back of the semi-translucent skins satisfies the universal aesthetic consciousness. The good feelings generated in this automatic cognitive processing process based on unconscious implicit memories can have a positive impact on cognitive outcomes. In terms of visual perception, the stability of the structure projected on the back of the translucent skin satisfies a general aesthetic sense.Therefore, an expression with visual appeal - translucent architectural skins and visually perceived stable building structures are proposed in this study.
