Abstract

The objects around us create the material world in which we live. They can have a very strong influence on our psychic and our interior conditions, enclosing in the same time the projection of the environment that created them.
Considering the psychology of a man – made form, we can draw some conclusions abut different characteristics of social, ideological, cultural and political factors who influenced the final form of conception.
