The article explores how the way we perceive our surroundings can influence architectural design. By using James J. Gibson's ecological approach, the researchers aim to understand both how people interact with their environment in daily life and how architects create spaces. They argue that there are common foundations between these activities. The study delves into Gibson's ideas on the human-environment relationship, focusing on concepts like clutter, enclosure, texture, and surface. By examining classic architectural design studies, the researchers aim to validate the potential of understanding design activities through Gibson's approach.
