Помогите подобрать слово!

Тетушка вводит слово "eye-catcher" для характеристики скульптуры, ее назначения в архитектуре.
Вот подробней: The transparency of Modern buildings may have required the solidity, scale and representational quality of figurative sculpture. Sometimes this seems to be to do with adding mass to transparency; sometimes to provide a human element; sometimes to orient the eye or provide a pivot; sometimes to represent us, the external viewer. It seems that such figures often functioned as eye-catchers – in the ‘picturesque’ sense of the word – even when they were placed indoors. In this sense, then, the ‘Modern eye-catcher’ asserts the importance of landscaping for the Modern architect , and allows us to see the Modernist building within this tradition.

Как бы поизящней?
