Phenomenology can be deemed to be both an unambiguous academic

research field and a theoretical design current within contemporary


architecture and is usually founded on one’s experience of the materials used
in construction inclusive of their sensory characteristics. In this regard,
architecture is the impetus towards transformation and inspiration of an
individual’s daily existence. Unlike other forms of art, architecture employs
the immediacy of an individual’s sensory perception. The complete
architectural experience is dependent on many factors such as details,
materials, texture, color phenomena, transparency and shadows, time
passage, etc. There is the huge phenomenon that phenomenology does not
exist in architecture but rather the problems associated with it. This theory is
very debatable and this paper will aim at expounding on some of the aspects
associated with phenomenology.

Acoustical Intimacy Science

The ear, which is the organ that the body uses to achieve acoustical intimacy,
is capable of defining a space and the resultant effect is a sculptural image
encrypted in the deep parts of the mind. Acoustic science dictates that sound
can be softened or refracted by the surfaces of copious entities of personal
life. All spaces and buildings posses individual characteristic sounds of
monumentality or intimacy, hostility or hospitality and invitation or rejection.
The ability to hear generates a sense of solidarity and connection contrary to
the ability to see which creates a feeling of solitude.
