Abstract
Time and motion are inseparable from the perception of architecture. Time and distance in architecture are functions of one another. With the passage from outdoor to indoors, one’s whole relation with the environment changes radically. The first effect upon an observer when entering a building is an abrupt shift in sense of scale. Interest in exactly the same manner as scale impression depends upon sequence. Interest, like energy, needs to be revived and renewed by constantly changing doses of stimulant. If the sequence of interest has been properly planned, it is unmistakable. It calls for visual imagination and ingenuity to create ever newer, fresher and an original atmosphere.
