Abstract
The similarity between the mental schema of the user and the built objects / environment have started to decrease, which naturally results in a difficulty in environmental perception, because of the rapid developments in technology and the impetuous growth in building stock due to the population increase. If there is no resemblance or smaller common elements are present, perception gets more difficult and some questions like ‘how come?’ ‘what kind of?’ appears.” In this context, the aim of this study can be explained as, to investigate architect and architectural student subjects, for the perceptibility and readability of the functions of the buildings when their façades considered. The outline of this article consists of Introduction, Research (explanation of the problematic and the method), Outcome, and Conclusions. In the first phase, the photographs of many public and semi-public buildings in Turkey have been studied. commerce, transportation, religious, and sports among the public ones, and socio-cultural, health related, educational, State and industrial for the semi-public buildings, is selected.
