ARPL 415 Beauty and Brains
The seminar helps architecture students understand how the environment is really perceived, to gain a vocabulary for that perception, and a new understanding of options for shaping a designed environment that supports human needs. The cognitive (perceiving, knowing, thinking) and affective (character and emotional) basis of aesthetics is explored through readings, projects, field trips, and individual and team presentations. The course is designed to help students discover new ways of approaching the creation of architecture that enhances the quality of life of the community.
