Abstract

The paper presents an overview of mechanisms underlying architectural perception and recognition. These include both general perceptual principles and specific domain constraints. The former determine the objective identification of elements and relationships in any visual scene, while the latter make architectural styles recognizable even to perceivers without extensive acquaintance with architecture. This is because many of the architectural constraints underlying a style have a firm foundation in general principles.
