From the concept of the urban image to the concept of the genral landscape image
Oleg Grgurević
Sažetak
The concept of the conscious visual image can be explained as the subjective reflection of objective reality, not only in the sense of visual sensations, but also in the sense of a wider awareness of our surroundlngs.
The idea of spiritual awareness in the form of the image of a certain urban area was illustrated most completely by Kevin Lynch, who defined the concept of the urban image. Researching the problem of environmental awareness, which covers geographicallly wider and more varied spheres than a town in the more limited sense, David Stea introduced the thesis of conceptual building elements of which the visual image is formed, establishing the concept of the mental map.
The component of spirituality participates to a greater degre when the visual image of broader geographical spacesis formed than it does in the formation ofthe urban image. As our consciousness forms the landscape image, so it also forms our atitude towards it, and we can talk about its aesthetic qualities. The set of rational spatial elements, combined with the Irrational component, result in a visual impression - the image.
Images of geographical areas are rarely visualized as clear, linked wholes. They usually take the form of a series of unconnected "incomplete" images, or of a collage made of various elements in different locations "foggily" joined in a visual impression, giving the image of a specific region that we may call a general landscape image.
