Perception- immediate or intuitive recognition or
appreciation, as of moral, psychological, or aesthetic qualities; insight;
intuition; discernment.
Our perception of the world is absorbed through our senses
of what is around us. We use touch,
smell, sight, and hearing to make these judgments of what is around us. These all are affected drastically in
different environments, like urban, suburban, and rural areas. Buildings rise up out of the ground to create
streets and path, which we walk and follow mindlessly through the city. In Boston I can never go from point A to
point B the way I want to because there are buildings that change my path and
decisions on my route. Then the
difference when you are in the countryside where the only problems in front of
you are natural and not made by man.
I perceive
buildings as a place to live or work and these “needs” as not necessary. I understand why society has developed
buildings for, but I think that we can revert these structures to a more
primitive form or time. Once men lived
off the land and had little use for buildings other than for shelter. One would like to believe that this reverting
is possible in the future, but with the society of today this would never be
possible. So now we find the relevance
of architecture is one of importance in the future. We spend the majority of our lives inside
buildings and they are the only things that frame our perception of the world.
