on phenomenology
I’ve noticed that all my previous posts on architecture are slightly too long, therefore I’ll try to compress my articles to shorter ones and allowing myself to update this blog more frequently.
In essence, this year represents a new direction in my architectural philosophy. I have been hinting about my investigations in architectural phenomenology. Briefly speaking, phenomenology in architecture that focused upon the experience in architecture and their effects on our senses and perception.

I believe that phenomenology has its roots in Romanticism, an 18th century movement that prioritized feelings and emotions over reason, based on writings by Rousseau. Feelings of awe and the sublime do not require the faculty of logic and reason, hence I think that phenomenology cannot be quantified by science, but rather a research on qualitative experience.
From here onwards I will publish articles related to phenomenology, both in my local region and abroad, with architectural works that I think is valuable to my on going investigation on architectural phenomenology.
