The ergonomics of a structure is the key to architecture as it allows you to communicate your ideas both effectivly and easily. “Ergonomics is particulary effective approach to the design phase of architectural plans.site visits, process and flow analysis”.

The Parthenon. Knowing the particularities of visual perception, ancient Greek architects designed the buildings in a way so as to give to the observer the impression they wanted. Built on the uneven surface of a giant rock, the Parthenon gives the casual observer the impression that all of its lines are perfectly straight. As the drawing depicts, they are in fact curved. Due to this, the big temple has an air of lightness that belies its volume. (source of the drawing: Muller Wienen 1988).
