The built environment is enriched with human physical interactions and activity, it can be interpreted that the concept of architecture is influenced by our five corporeal senses. The essence of architecture should be a memorable experience for the people. It should be recognised through its qualities based on our senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch where they can interact and engage with the space. By studying the human behaviour and the essence in phenomenology we could change the way we perceive, design architecture and rethink ways it could benefit society today. As architects, it is their role to undertake the challenge to think of innovative ways within their design incorporating our sensory perception whilst maintaining the

Husserl stated 'the world is what we perceive ' and we should not question 'whether we really perceive a world ' this portrays how we question our own perception with the world as well as our relationship and intentions with space. The visual aspects of spaces dominates our ocular perception as humans involuntarily use their eyes and in response to judge or comment what they see or visualise. We see things based on our reactions to the space given or …show more content…
As for the dual sensory impaired for the death and blind, the sense of touch was fundamental for aid such as communication and orientation. Pallasmaa depicted that Architecture should not just be 'experienced as a series of isolated retinal pictures, but in its full integrated material, embodied and spiritual essence. ' Architecture has been a foundation in fostering their own independence before walking to the external active built environment. Embellished textured walls have been used to divide and to distinguish space. Architect Alan Dunlop developed a school with winding space dedicated to the interior cladding walls where individuals could confidently feel their ways through each classroom without support of another individual.
Phenomenological Architecture demonstrates the continuity of new human experiences, aesthetic thinking and making. Partnering a sense with other senses would be a solution that could draw forth a sense of balance.
To conclude architecture could be defined as a self-expression. Phenomenology can be a vehicle to define the concept and designing of space in architecture based on the moving physical
