When we are presented with stimuli in the form of things, we are prompted by the lexicality of the stimuli to consume those things perceptually as words. We see a 'cup' on a 'table' before we really see the things themselves. So much so, we consume the words, instead of the things. How much of architectural stimuli lend themselves to us as words, hiding their true experience from us? Do we often achieve closure with the words and miss out on the seeing?
