Ana Škevin Mikulandra
Abstract
This paper gives an analysis of the characteristics of Šibenik’s visual forms. A town’s visual image is made up of various elements of its urban structure acting simultaneously. Human perception of the environment creates a mental picture as a subjective interpretation of reality. The structure of the mental picture is determined by physical qualities and attributes of identity. The analysis of the elements of Šibenik’s visual image is based on Kevin Lynch’s model.
