The Dynamics of Architectural Form, 30th Anniversary Edition
In this classic volume, Rudolf Arnheim, an authority on the psychological interpretation of the visual arts, turns his experienced eye to the visual aspects of buildings, amplifying his theories with new features specific to the medium of the architect. Arnheim explores the unexpected perceptual consequences of architecture with his customary clarity and precision. Of particular interest is his thorough analysis of order and disorder in design, the nature of visual symbolism, and the relations between practical function and perceptual expression."
Rudolf Arnheim (1904—2007) was Professor Emeritus of the Psychology of Art at Harvard University and Emeritus Professor of Psychology at Sarah Lawrence College. He was author of many books, including Art and Visual Perception, Film as Art, The Power of the Center, and Visual Thinking.
