Germana Pareti, « Bordi. Un confronto tra arte, filosofia e psicologia », Rivista di estetica, ID : 10.4000/estetica.14415
For at least a century, light and homogeneous space, but also occluding and covering edges of surfaces, attract the interest of philosophers, psychologists and architectural theorists. In different fields, scholars and artists have explored the effects of edges and borders. Among them, the initiator of the ecological approach to visual perception, James J. Gibson, a visionary artist like James Turrell and Nordic and American architects imbued with phenomenological and Heideggerian suggestions. In their theories of perception and environmental psychology, these scholars have explored the relationship between the observer and the natural environment, but also the effects of built places on the human mind and behavior. More or less openly declared, the influence of Gestalt psychology extends on all these conceptions, and this essay aims to trace the common origin of the many ideas that such distant scholars have elaborated on the concept of “looking” and on the “meaning of places”.
