Relational perception is a cognitive act enabling users to both epistemically handle a given object and ontologically reason about it. The condition for such a perceptive act is fully dependent on an understanding of support relations and knowledge of the situation at hand. Such knowledge according to this article is present and afforded by a ground condition. According to James J. Gibson the ground is what supports the survival of the animal. In other words, the discoverability of the environment, its textures and surfaces, and therefore the animal’s abilities to navigate and interact with it relies strictly on perception. Additionally, this article posits the importance of relational perception in experiencing artistic practices. It presents a strong argument in support of a philosophy of becoming, where aesthetics, materiality, and haptic relations, are interweaved and experienced as an architected landscape. In this regard, artworks are not simply viewed, but become lived space, as they afford an amalgamation of mental constructs and affective phenomenological experiences.

关系感知是一种认知行为，使用户能够在认知上处理给定的对象并在本体论上对其进行推理。这种感知行为的条件完全取决于对支持关系的理解和对当前情况的了解。根据这篇文章的这种知识是存在的，并由地面条件提供。根据 James J. Gibson 的说法，地面是支持动物生存的因素。换句话说，环境的可发现性、它的纹理和表面，以及动物导航和与之互动的能力，都严格依赖于感知。此外，本文还提出了关系感知在体验艺术实践中的重要性。它提出了支持生成哲学的有力论据，其中美学、物质性、和触觉关系，作为建筑景观交织和体验。在这方面，艺术品不仅仅是被观看，而是成为生活空间，因为它们提供了心理建构和情感现象学体验的融合。
