Connection between the artistic design of form in architecture and design and laws of psychology and physiology of perception

Abstract

Specialists who have ever been involved in compositional work could not help but notice that there is a connection between compositional methods and techniques (architects, designers and artists use them in their work) and the fundamental tools of perception that nature has endowed man with and which he uses. The direction of Gestalt psychology is of greatest importance for the chosen topic. This direction describes and studies integral structures that, in principle, cannot be derived from the components that form them. At the same time, the theory of composition studies such laws of construction of a work of art that ensure the integrity of this work. It is quite obvious that the process of creating an attractive form simply must be built according to the laws of perception that are laid down by nature. It is this interesting connection that this article is devoted to.
