A place I went to recently was Hong Kong, and I was very much amazed with everything I saw there. Especially the skyscrapers. If you had viewed the enormous buildings like I did, I am sure you would've felt like a small person in awe of this huge world. I had also noticed that there were many Gestalt principles applied to these huge skyscrapers. One building that appealed to me is the fourth building pictured on the left. The use of symmetry is so apparent and it creates a very lego-like feel to it. In fact, I believe that it's the most interesting building out of all 6 buildings there. But what I want to point out is that it looks so different when drawn 2-D.
Now let's look at it in 3-D. When you are just a person who's standing right below it, the building just looks so much more majestic. The Gestalt principles become more apparent with the focal point in the sky but geared towards your focus, and the lines of the building spread out making a mountain shape. The proximity of building becomes more apparent since the tip of the building gets smaller up on the top, emphasizing the height, space, and difference. I am certainly more appealed by 3-Dimensional designs.
