    Asymmetrical balance produces an informal balance that is attention attracting and dynamic. Radial balance is arranged around a central element. The elements placed in a radial balance seem to 'radiate' out from a central point in a circular fashion. Overall is a mosaic form of balance which normally arises from too many elements being put on a ...

  3. Visual weight - Wikipedia

    The visual weight and the balance of a figure inserted in an image can be determined using the lightness of the figure, the lightness of the ground and their sizes and positions interactions in the composition visual. We establish that an image is totally balanced when the resultant force is located in the geometric center of the image.

It is the visual effect of the relationship of the various objects and spaces that make up a structure to one another and to the whole.

    Historically, multiple approaches were suggested to address the reflection of the structure in the appearance of the architectural form. In the 19th-century Germany, Karl Friedrich Schinkel suggested that the structural elements shall remain visible in the forms to create a satisfying feeling of strength and security, [3] while Karl Bötticher as part of his "tectonics" suggested splitting the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioural_design

    Design for behaviour change developed from work on design psychology (also: behavioural design) conducted by Don Norman in the 1980s. [3] Norman’s ‘psychology of everyday things’ introduced concepts from ecological psychology and human factors research to designers, such as affordances, constraint feedback and mapping. They have provided ...
