The lecture will take place as part of the foundation celebration, which will be held on August 25, 2024, starting at 6:00 p.m. at Haus Vortlage.

First mentioned in 1241, the former knight’s estate, Haus Vortlage, is one of 30 remaining moated castles in Germany. After more than 700 years of rule by the “Ritterbürtigen” family, it was ultimately sold in 1978 to Kossolapow and Manzmann, both professors at the University of Münster. Since the 1980s, Kossolapow and Manzmann have developed a unique artistic and creative method at the University of Münster designed to strengthen the life and professional skills of individuals and groups. The Vortlage Model is based on this approach, which combines science, art, and life.

Content and objectives

The process of perception involves active exploration, selection, grasping the essentials, simplifying, abstracting, analyzing and synthesizing, supplementing, correcting, comparing, solving tasks, combining, differentiating, putting into context.

All perceptions and ideas of our existence in the environment are structured spatially and temporally. This corresponds to the nature of our sensory experiences, which the brain organizes in a memory model of the external world. It is through the mistakes, errors and failures we recognize that we learn, as the brain involuntarily corrects and expands our spatial concepts. The cultural space provides us with the instructions for its use. We perceive where we have to orient ourselves, how we use things or what we can interact with.

During the seminar, we will use practical examples from art, design and interior design to explore the human senses and their functions for the aesthetics of perception. The explanation of how the senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell/taste, balance and movement work takes place with regard to the consequences for all areas of design.

The seminar teaches the basics of perceptual psychology for designers with reference to practical examples of image, film and spatial design.

Topics:

1. Proportion aesthetics – Perception of balance
2. Material aesthetics – Tactile perception
3. Form aesthetics – Haptic perception
4. Movement aesthetics – kinaesthetic perception
5. Smell and taste aesthetics – Olfactory/gustatory perception
6. Color aesthetics – Visual perception
7. Music – auditory perception
8. Synaesthesia – multisensory perception
9. Atmospheres – emotionality of perception
