RE: Architectural Lines and Texture

This reminds me of a concept I find many people don't tend to think of.

Our architecture impacts our psychology and the way we think.

It makes sense, doesn't it? We live in our architecture, we are surrounded by it, it is what our entire civilization is based in.

The way it's structured, the way it's placed, what it contains, what it represents, all of these things effect our thinking, the way we compartmentalize, the way we interact with each other and the way we interpret things.

Thoughts on this?

Sort:  

I definitely think it does. A lot of modern architecture is quite poorly designed - particularly modern housing and I think it does have an effect.

It's a shame. Go check out "the nerdwriter" on youtube. He does a very compelling visual essay on the subject.

Yes I am familiar with him but didn't know he had covered it. Thanks.

Of course : )
