What is more important in architectural works—their form; shape; and color; or the meanings and symbolism that can be associated with them? Can aesthetic judgments of architecture be independent of the stories one can tell about buildings? Do non-architects perceive buildings in the same way as do architects? For the greater part of the twentieth century it was common to respond to these and similar questions by relying on psychological theories asserting there is no innocent eye; that we think only in language; and that human visuality results from preexisting; conceptual knowledge. Dramatic breakthroughs in philosophy and psychology over the past two decades; however; have shown us that human visuality functions for the most part independently of conceptual thinking and language.This book examines the ways in which new theories of human visuality create a different understanding of architectural design; practice; and education. This new understanding coincides with and supports formalist approaches to architecture that have become influential in recent years as a result of the digital revolution in architectural design.

Boris Berling Scale and chordsBy Florette BrownIt was too advance for me I need a book with just all the scales by itself with the chords for each scale.I am a beginner I am totally confused when trying to play each scale.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The title really says it allBy R. BaileyFIVE STARS ALL THE WAY. The title really says it all: Boris Berlin"s COMPLETE Scale and Chord Book.This book has everything. Everything including the kitchen sink. As such; it may appear a little intimidating to the Beginner Pianist who might find "Scales; Chords Arpeggios" by James Basten a bit easier to look at and digest. But I truly hope that you buy this book and set it aside; because the time WILL come when youll need to go beyond; and then this book will be the key that helps unlock the door. Now go practice......;-)
