Intelligibility is the relation between the local perceptually available and the cognitive whole (Peponis) #interface #cognition #SSS8

‘Space Syntax is about empowering intuition with knowledge’ – Peponis at #SSS8

kerstinsailer Kerstin Sailer
According to Peponis interface is not only social, but about wider spatial relations and the integrity of the architectural object #SSS8

Though Kourkoulas & Kokkinou are explaining their projects well, I’m afraid I sometimes fail to get architectural reasoning #SSS8
