Modern architecture worsens the visual environment of the city. This is due to the fact that a set of constructive elements has changed: the set uses straight lines, right angles and large planes. In addition, the architecture has a huge number of homogeneous and aggressive fields. All this creates an unfavorable visual environment in which the mechanisms of vision can not fully function.

In addition, the architecture has a huge number of homogeneous and aggressive fields. All this creates an unfavorable visual environment in which the mechanisms of vision can not fully function.
To the problem of videoecology, we came as a result of a long (more than 30 years) study of the mechanisms of visual perception and, in particular, the study of the mechanism of eye movements. Eye movements consist of slow and rapid movements, called saccades. We measured three parameters of saccades: amplitude, interval and orientation. For our reasoning, the intervals between the saccades are of great interest. Studies have shown that during the sleep of an adult, and during a baby's sleep, the intervals between saccades are the same.
Now directly to the ecology of the visual environment.
What is bothering the townspeople?
Naturally, all environmental issues, including pollution of the visual environment. The main polluters of the visual environment are homogeneous and aggressive visual fields.
Homogeneous are called visual fields, on which either there are absolutely no visible elements, or very few of them.
Amazing architecture
Agreed, they go to architectural school for a long period of time and this is the best they come up with. Ofcourse it isn't only the Architects fault, it's hard to be creative when they just want to cram in as many as possible in a finite of space.
