The architectural form affects the human through the sensations that are generated at the receiver as soon as he watches architectural buildings , Before he was understanding and thinking what those shapes mean and what symbolic or ideas they may carry. Sensation is an immediate emotional response to these visual stimuli. These visual stimuli that existing in the architectural form - an intentionly or unintentionally by the designer - act as gestures and references provoke sensory stimuli and generate feelings that may negatively or positively affect the human psyche and the behavior of societies. So the sensory characteristics of the architectural form is Knowed (the nature of the connotations carried by the architectural form and generated a sense at the recipient).
