    We perceive space through visual sensations like seeing as well as other senses such as smell, sound, and touch. Perception is an active process of making sense of our surroundings that depends on analysis by the eye-brain system and is more than just sensation. Architects use scale and elements like doors, floor-to-ceiling heights, and window sills to define the effect of a building's size on people in relative rather than absolute terms. Colors also impact the perception of space, with warm colors making a space feel smaller than cooler colors and demanding more attention.

    MECHANISMS OF PERCEIVING SPACE

     To understand our relationship with nature, we need to explore how we become aware of it.
     For eg, we feel different spaces by seeing it and visual sensations are the most dominating aspect.
     But other sensations like smell, sound and even touch make us aware of the spaces.
    PERCEPTION

     Perception is an active process through which we make sense of the world around us.
     It is more than just sensation.
     Perception is an integrated experience.
     The experience depends upon analysis by eye-brain system.
    SCALE

     The term ‘scale’ used by architects are to define the effect of the building on us in terms of relative rather than
    absolute size.
     The door above all speaks to us about scale.
     Next, we have the height between the floor and the ceiling giving us an idea about the scale.
     Windows, and specifically the heights of their sills.
    COLOURS

     A space painted in red is comparatively small than that of blue.


     Warm colours demand more attention.
     It enhances performance.
