perception

It is said that perception is the highest level of activity. "One aught to conceive of perceptible forms embodied in physical objects as forces directed towards the awareness of form". The awareness of the perceiver is the only way in which perceptible form achieves it's highest level of actuality. What is it that makes anything that can be perceived accomplish the perception of what it is? How does something of nature be perceived as something of nature and how does something of architecture be perceived as something made by man? As young children we begin to develop an ability to differentiate nature from something we as humans have build/created. I want to explore this ability to not only set the two of nature and architecture apart from one another but our human ability to perceive. Janine Benyus has a talk on TED about biomimicry where she states, "we are surrounded by genius". Things that are living in nature have been creators for much longer than we have and also much better. She gives a great example of perception when she talks about a boy who made the assumption that a wasps nest was made by us. Perception in training. 
   Sensible form is a real force towards perceiving . This is why the perceiving must occur in the senses of the perceiver, but the perceiving itself is the highest realization of sensible form. Sensible form by definition would be the organization of the matter of the perceptible object. This form would be translated to the sense organ.
plato says, in the theory of forms that "Forms are the only true objects of study that can provide us with genuine knowledge"
  On every account I can think of where I have learned something from anything other than  that of something with form I now think, Is all this not considered "genuine knowledge"?
