ABSTRACT

Aesthetics falls within the scope of philosophy, physiology, and psychology. In relation to the qualities of beauty or its effects; aesthetic is not immediately beautiful but includes the possibility of nonbeauty or ugliness. Aesthetic quality is not limited to any particular fixed value by the characteristics of the object, but varies within a range of values dependent on a variety of characteristics of the observer. Humans as the receivers of aesthetic messages use all of their senses: they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, feel by touch, and perceive temperature and radiation by sensors distributed in the body, sensors for which there is no one name. The search for explanations, the analysis of aesthetic values, are bound to lead to useful results, at least for man-made buildings and structures. An important characteristic necessary to achieve beauty of a building is good, harmonious proportions, in three-dimensional space.
