Our mind and the way we perceive architecture - "The mind is like and Iceberg, It floats with one-seventh of its bulk above water" (Sigmund Freud 1856-1939)
Our mind is actually 10% conscious and 90% unconscious. Big portion of the way we perceive architecture is done with our unconscious.
Eye tracking systems are use to study how we observe architecture. What does our eyes capture first? What do we find interesting, scary or inviting?
