Gestalt in Architechture

Law of Similarity:

This represents the law of similarity because instead of traveling across the picture to the three different elements our eyes automatically travel up and down with the grass, then the cement, then rocks separately.

Law of Proximity and Continuity

This represents the law of proximity because the wooden stairs are grouped together and the shadows cast across the stairs are grouped together by the eyes almost as a different set of stairs. This photo also represents continuity because the line of the stairs inside flows through the window to the set of stairs outside almost like the window isn't there.

Law of Pragnanz

This photo is pretty evident that it is the law of pragnanz because at first glance it is just a blue wall, but when you step back and look at it you can tell that it is meant to be a cloud of book spines.

Law of Closure

This is the law of closure because all of the couches are in a straight line and towards the end they start to appear as one long couch instead of separate ones.

Figure ground relationship

This photo creates a strange figure ground relationship because the glass reflects the ground below it so it is hard to tell where the ground begins and the balcony ends. My feet and the beam in the frame are the only things that show how far away the ground really is in comparison to my feet.
