There is widespread debate about an issue related to the nature of the perception of the urban landscape, which is subdivided into the syntactic and semantic characteristics of "street furniture" design. On this basis, there is a difference “between the classical mental tendency that claims that the process of perceiving design subjects in the city is a mere subjective activity, and the Gestalt theory, which emphasizes the image or structure of the subject perceived in this process”, and for this we wished to investigate the two sides of the truth with the issue The logical consequence of rationalizing the furniture in the public space is likely;Therefore, it is necessary to pose the question in its following form and formulation: Is perception the outcome of a mental cognitive structure and a reflection of the activities of its functions, or is it a special perception of the system of things furnished by our external surroundings? In other words, does perception come from the efficacy of the perceived subject, or from the nature and essence of the perceived subject?
