According to Jon Lang (1983):
“…Formal aesthetics is concerned with the perceptions of beauty or pleasure in the geometric quality of the layout of buildings, streets, landscapes and urban designs.”
“…In architecture today the formal aesthetic character of the buildings is still of concern. It always will be to a greater or lesser extent. In architectural education the student is almost invariably introduced to the topic of formal aesthetics in the Basic Design course.”

Wabi-Sabi philosophy advocate the idea that real beauty is implicit in the inner potentials of beings and these hidden qualities come to light as the imperfect effects of passing years and experiences. The Japanese philosophy Wabi regards beauty as the results of imperfections and changes of daily life, and Sabi teaching supports this attitude by advocating the idea that life experiences and accumulation of years are
important factors increasing beauty (Taraz , 2013).
