Illusionism In Architecture

Sensing and seeing are not automatic processes but depend on cognitive processes that have been studied by scientists since the time of Descartes. Vision, the most essential sense possessed by artists and architects, is vital to turn conceptual forms into reality, or as Marleau- Ponty suggests ‘vision is the brain’s way of touching’. [ 1 ] ‘It is physically accomplished by stimulating the retina of the eye with elements of light, color, intensity and direction, combined with cognitive analysis of
the sensory information. Along with elements of our own knowledge, background, and experiences, vision aids our understanding of our environment. [ 2 , 3 ] Massey refers to Descartes and his work ‘Discourse’ : “The sense of sight gives no less assurance of the reality of its objects than do the senses of smell and hearing, while neither our imagination nor our senses could ever assure us of anything without the intervention of our intellect
