| dc.description.abstract | Motion illusions can be created by repeating asymmetric patterns of contrasting colours. They have been extensively studied to reveal underlying features of visual perception, often difficult to tease out from veridical seeing. This thesis explored the potential applications of motion illusions in an architectural context, using the extensive scientific research on the effect to guide the design process. Three experimental prototypes were developed, each addressing uncertainties about the illusion to better understand its feasibility in design, how it could be implemented and in what contexts. The first study utilized biological computation to create novel illusory motion patterns visually represented by swarm agents. The following two studies explored the potentials of motion illusions on nonuniform, three-dimensional surfaces. This research suggests illusory motion offers opportunities for designers to manipulate the perception of material constructs to achieve compelling visual effects, but many challenges must be overcome for their successful execution. | en_US |
