In Volume 1 Architecture, Gauldie taps into the sensory experience acquired by the reader during a lifetime of adjusting to the environment as a whole—unconscious responses to the suggestions made by bulk, space, shape, and light provide lines of communication which enable buildings to touch emotions.
In Volume 2 Sculpture, Rogers appeals to the reader’s capacity to enjoy three-dimensional expressive form—the power to perceive three-dimensional forms and respond to their expressive qualities is not a rare gift belonging to exceptional persons.
