A new aesthetic theory is introduced. Architectural enjoyment is motivated by beauty, sublimity and appropriateness. Particulars of each motive are explained. Objective universal beauty and sublimity lies in natural forms that constitute part of visual and psychological human experiences, subjectively they are evoked relatively according to each experience.
Human features, part of nature, constitute absolute criteria for beauty in proportion, smoothness and delicacy. Experience with numerous historical precedents also forms part of criteria of beauty and sublimity.
Appropriateness justifies enjoyment with modest urban, rural or historical architecture and heritage.
The book analyses universal means of enjoyment inspired by nature in its cosmic, macro and micro scales.
Absolute objective beauty, sublimity and appropriateness and
divergent subjectivity are discussed both theoretically and by
actual examples in cosmic and architectural experiences.
