Description
The relevance of Gestalt theory to art and design has been well documented, from the primary texts on the Gestalt concept of perception to subsequent works from Arnheim, Gombrich, and Dondis which apply those notions to art, aesthetics, and visual design. Lesser known is Kurt Koffka’s 1940 essay on the psychology of art, in which he expands the concept of perceptual space and discusses the role of both creator and observer in the experience of the phenomenal object. The research presented here takes as its basis the examination of perceptual space in the context of designed objects: specifically origami tessellations, which are dynamic, three-dimensional structures created by technical folding (origami sekkei).
