Abstract:

not a young but still a very present topic. The ongoing development of innovative building materials, designs and production processes leads to a breaking up of conventional design concepts. The aim of this thesis is the Definition of Geometric Boundary Conditions for Surface Structures regarding their impact to Aesthetics.

At the beginning a definition of aesthetics is given. A categorization of the influences on the aesthetic perception serves the awareness of the limits of objectivity [III.]. The existing methods to derive aesthetic geometries are identified and evaluated. It results a new approach, which uses psychological insights to achieve the previously defined shape concepts [IV]. These concepts are firstly the mapping of a dynamic context and secondly the embedding in a spatial context. Principles for creating dynamic effects are derived [V].
