Virtualism In Architecture

As humans are spatial creatures they respond better to 3-Dimensional visuals as opposed to 2-Dimensional or ‘blueprint’ style plans. Both the client and architect are able to view the same plan, and no grand ‘leap of the imagination’ is required so there are no differences in each others interpretation of the final product. As far as the desig .....

"And she was gentler here [the forest] than in the grassy- margined streets of the settlement, or in her mother's cottage. The flowers appeared to know it"(194) Pearl fit in with natural things.

Vision
.... man whose night-light is never unplugged. What is so terrifying about darkness is its deprivation of vision. Just as one finds comfort and enlightenment in the physical and metaphorical act of seeing, one finds fear and confusion in the state of blindness. Many religious doctrines preach of an antagonistic force, such as Satan, which attempts to cast the believer into darkness and thus blind him to the truth. If vision is what lifts the human spirit to a higher plateau of spiritual understanding, blindness .....

Visual Perception

Figure-ground involves the target stimulus being called the figure, while everything that surrounds this figure is called the ground, or background. The differentiation between these is called figure-ground perception. In perception we give most of our attention on the figure.

What makes it difficult to help these people is their self-deception. The processes they use to protect themselves are ingrained from early childhood. As a result, they are absolutely unaware of their constant efforts to maintain a viable "self." If they are meeting with success (e.g., people respect and adore them) they are satisfied with life.
