The author is an authority on the psychological interpretation of the visual arts. In this volume, he turns his experienced eye to the visual aspects of buildings, and he amplifies his theories with new features specific to the medium of the architect. The sheer size of buildings, the interaction between immoble structures and mobile humans, the complex correspondences between inside and outside, occupied and open spaces, the variable relations between horizontal expanse and vertical ascent - all have unexpected perceptional consequences, which the author explores with clarity and precision. Arnheim's strikingly original approach will stimulate professionals and students concerned with the theory and practice of modern and historical architecture.
