The analytical psychology of architecture between subjective expression and objective meaning

Abstract
The paper outlines the theoretical framework for the concept of applying analytical psychology to architectural design. What has been discussed are methods and process of designing tools for the analysis of perceptual experiences resulting from the representations of the notions used in the description of the architectural space attributes. A tool is presented – pictogram test based on the graphic reduction of the language of architecture as well as environmental research results confirming its accuracy. The presented methods of analysis concern pictograms as well as perceptual experience presumption errors in the design process. The errors a designer unwary of the complexity of the perceptual experience of the designed architectural space could be prone to have also been identified.
