Abstract

A true satisfactory covering means people have identical access to a safe, livable and affordable habitat. Human being is considered as an active principle. By his perception and needs, through his reflection and expression, he influences and comprises the environment. Simultaneously, the built environment (physics, social and productive) has the same active principles, which influences the person to build his conscience. To describe an excellent moral act is to express emotion toward that act. Aesthetics is regularly known as the reading of sensory or sensor-emotional values, sometimes called as judgments of feeling and taste. More broadly, scholars in the field define aesthetics as decisive manifestation on art, culture and nature. Beauty in aesthetical conception is in the eye of the beholder, and is, therefore, very personal and subjective. Objective theories of aesthetic values have been much discussed in philosophical literature.
