The Role of Aesthetic Experience in the Audience's Behavioral Reaction to Architectural Landscapes from the Perspective of Philosophy

A large part of our everyday aesthetic experience involves behavioral reactions to architectural landscapes. The authors focus on the perception of landscapes as a feature of evolutionary aesthetics, emphasizing that human aesthetic values are rooted in social and environmental components. They discuss theories related to architectural space and compare them¬with empirical data from studies conducted over the past twenty years, with a strong emphasis on the most recent studies. The articles discussed include the fields of perception, architectural landscapes, behavioral response to the perceptual environment, and individual differences in terms of architectural space. An overview of the important aesthetic theories will be presented in this article and various theories will be examined, which were the basis of studies in the first place and claim that when all findings are compared on a larger scale, they are not fixed and permanent. However, as a result, we will discuss the current state of aesthetic research in behavioral response to architectural landscapes, and conclude the research with comments and guidelines for future research to fill the gap we have in understanding the perception of architectural landscapes.
