    KEYWORDS: Imageability, analogy, metaphor, iconic, canonic, Pragmatic, analogic, regional contextualism, expressionims, structuralism, Deconstructivism, neologism, form, image, shape, size, orientation, texture, colour, visual inertia, position, emotional basis of architecture. SYNOPSIS: Imageability in edifices insinuates powerful images in people’s psyche. In the built environment, it therefore serves to interpret seminal meanings of buildings to users. It is a legible, subtly obtrusive mental picture that can be easily singled out or identified, being cogent, distinctive, and outstanding. Imageability has the sense of shape, colour, and spatial arrangements. In this sense, it is able to contrive forms of lucidly discernible, compulsively ordered and vastly valuable, and therefore empathetic mental images of the environment. Imageability produces critical meaning and a sense of place. Imageability when well captured in design can integrate the built environment to its social and physical context. It is a good instrument to recapture lost harmony between man and his living environs, overcoming potential conflicts or hostility, where society is happy to participate in the vitality of buildings. These are the ideas that are explored here in an empirical environmental behaviour inquiry that is conducted in a local context in order to set out easily repeatable instructive guidelines for practitioners.

    Didactic Design of Imageable Architecture

    Imageability in edifices insinuates powerful images in peoples psyche. In the built environment, it therefore serves to interpret seminal meanings of buildings to users. It is a legible, subtly obtrusive mental picture that can be easily singled out or identified, being cogent, distinctive, and outstanding. Imageability has the sense of shape, colour, and spatial arrangements. In this sense, it is able to contrive forms of lucidly discernible, compulsively ordered and vastly valuable, and therefore empathetic mental images of the environment. Imageability produces critical meaning and a sense of place. Imageability when well captured in design can integrate the built environment to its social and physical context. It is a good instrument to recapture lost harmony between man and his living environs, overcoming potential conflicts or hostility, where society is happy to participate in the vitality of buildings. These are the ideas that are explored here in an empirical environmental behaviour inquiry that is conducted in a local context in order to set out easily repeatable instructive guidelines for practitioners.
