Sierakowski’s principles of building perception—described in suggestive and colourful language—created a kind of original set of rules referring to optics, perspective and composition, that deserve careful analysis and re-reading in the present times of ongoing discourse on the condition of the Polish landscape and city planning system.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={‘Not from the beauty on the paper the things should be considered but from the application of the optics and perspective’ — characteristic of the perception and design of landscape elements described 205 years ago in the handbook of Sebastian Sierakowski}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/122354/PDF/2021-TEKA-08-Olenski.pdf}, doi={10.24425/tkuia.2021.138707}, keywords={principles of object perception (in the cityscape), viewshed, visibility range, viewpoint, building proportions, apparent building size}, }
