A graphic survey of perception and behavior for the design professions

Aesthetic forms of artists and architects and laboratory experiments of behavioral researchers often appear to arrive at unrelated solutions to the problems of human needs and comfort in the built environment. "A Graphic Survey of Perception and Behavior for the Design Professions" shows that they are often more related than we think and, in fact, complement each other. This first composition of a graphic encyclopedia focuses on the factors that affect the human animal's comfort and efficiency in built environments. It combines art and science to illustrate that design theory and psychological research findings are closely linked. Everything is covered from Pavlov's salivating dog to Kandinsky's studies of the dynamic basis of visual form.
