“…Later on, from 300 to 750 ms, affordance and attractiveness are jointly related in their neural responses and are strengthened by each other. In line with the design perspective suggesting that esthetically pleasing objects are considered to be more effective (Chawda et al, 2005;Norman, 2003;Tractinsky, 1997;Tractinsky et al, 2000;Xenakis and Arnellos, 2013) our findings stress the important additive interplay of attractiveness and affordance in the cognitive processing of tools. However, the present results highlight a key role played by affordance in the early stage of processing (P200) suggesting that the detection of the motoric and functional attributes of tools is the first step of tools evaluation, since it occurs before esthetic evaluation which exerts an additive effect only from 300 ms.…”

The relation between attractiveness and motor affordance is a key topic in design and has not yet been investigated electrophysiologically. In this respect, action affordance and attractiveness represent two crucial dimensions in object processing (specifically for tools). In light of this evidence, Event Related Potentials (ERPs) enabled us to gain new insights into the time course of the interaction between these two dimensions during an explicit tool evaluation task. Behaviorally, tools that were judged as high affording and high attractive yielded faster response times than those judged as low affording and low attractive. The ERP results showed that early processes related to sensory gating and feature extraction (N100) were sensitive to both affordance and attractiveness; the P200 was dominated by affordance, indexing a facilitated access to motor action representation. The N300, P300 and the Late Positive Potential (LPP) showed enhanced responses for highly affording/attractive tools, reflecting the interconnection between attractiveness and affordance. Later responses were entirely affected by attractiveness, suggesting additional affective responses evoked by desirable tools. We are showing that things that are perceived as more functional and attractive have a privileged neural activation in the time course of tool evaluation, for the first time.

“…If it is true that the esthetic value allows users to enhance the detection of action possibilities and, consequently, the detection of motor affordance (Xenakis and Arnellos, 2013), then it becomes crucial to explore the different cognitive operations involved in artifact evaluation as a function of both esthetic and affordance.…”

“…This group of structures originally came to being for practical reasons of safety and sufficient in the sense of security of their dwellers, meaning this was a utilitarian inception of the idea, which later underwent all sorts of transformations [2]. In this context of utilitarity, that is affordances and achieved effect far beyond the original meaning [11]. The historical examples of the structures achieving the hovering illusion can be rarely encountered in an architecture where the prevailing building material was stone or brick, which is the case in the history of the European civilization since ancient times until the 19 th century.…”

Proportional ratios and geometrical setups for achieving the floating effect of architectonic structures

Preliminary notesIn the entire period of development of human civilization, there has been a continuity of the concept of "hovering" architectonic structures. This paper deals with discovering the idea of "hover" structures in numerous historical examples and in various architectural styles. The reasons of such formal shaping are utilitarian, but also conceptual and esthetic. Through an analysis of the continuity of the idea and formal appearance of the mentioned structures, the methods of achieving the effect can be defined and classification resulting from them made. In this paper, the achievement of the floating effect of architectonic structures has been analyzed from the aspect of ratios and geometrical setups in design process.Keywords: architectural design; geometrical setups; "hovering" architecture; proportional ratios Proporcijski odnosi i geometrijske postavke za postizanje efekta lebdenja arhitektonskih objekata Prethodno priopćenje Kontinuitet ideje "lebdećih" arhitektonskih objekata, postojao je kroz čitavo razdoblje razvoja civilizacije. U ovom radu istražuje se ideja "lebdećih" prostornih struktura kroz povijesne primjere u različitim arhitektonskim stilovima. Razlozi takvog formalnog oblikovanja su od utilitarnih, do apstraktnih i estetskih. Kroz analizu kontinuiteta ideje i oblikovne pojavnosti spomenutih objekata dolazi se i do načina postizanja efekta i klasifikacije koja iz njih proizlazi. U ovom radu je postizanje efekta lebdenja arhitektonskih objekata analizirano s aspekta proporcijskih odnosa i geometrijskih postavki u procesu projektiranja.Ključne riječi: arhitektonsko projektiranje; geometrijske postavke; "lebdeća" arhitektura; proporcijski odnosi 1 Introduction -Human primordial desire to fly (hover)

This article focuses on the use of Photographic Participatory Inquiry (PPI) in researching the teaching and learning of photography in the e-learning environment. It is an arts-informed method drawing on digital tools to capture collective information as digital artefacts, which can then be accessed and harnessed to build critical and reflective photographic practices. The multimedia tools employed (for example GoPro video and screen capture) are critically discussed for their potential to contribute understanding of photographic artistic practice and the learning of a digital generation. The article may also provide critical insights and inform more nuanced methods for research and scholarship when wishing to investigate the personalized, participatory, and productive pedagogies of a networked learning society.Cet article porte sur l’utilisation, en contexte d’apprentissage en ligne, de la photographie participative comme méthode de recherche dans le domaine de l’enseignement et de l’apprentissage de la photographie. Cette méthode, fondée sur les arts, s’appuie sur l’utilisation d’outils numériques pour recueillir de l’information sous forme d’artéfacts numériques, artéfacts pouvant ensuite être consultés et exploités pour élaborer des pratiques photographiques critiques et réflectives. Les outils multimédia utilisés (par exemple, des vidéos GoPro et des captures d’écran) et leur potentiel à contribuer à une meilleure compréhension des pratiques de photographie artistique et d’apprentissage de la génération numérique sont examinés sous un angle critique. Cet article peut également fournir des perspectives critiques et engendrer des méthodes de recherche plus nuancées pour ceux désirant enquêter les pédagogies personnalisées, participatives et productives d’une société d’apprentissage en réseau
