In architectural design, phenomenology shapes the space beyond visual aesthetics, considering all sensations, touch, sound, smell, and taste through the emphasis on human relations with their surroundings and meanings upon them. The movement began in the 1950s in parallel to modernism and the emergence of modern technology, reaching its peak in the late 1970s. However, experiences are subjective. The movement faced heavy criticism and has worn down since. As the phenomenology used in architecture is often based on one’s perspective, the architect, that perspective is forced onto the so-called ‘universal’ design. Nevertheless, some architects still found its importance in architecture and redefined the term ‘Critical phenomenology’ to properly implement the theory in architecture. The research paper will explore the phenomenology approaches through the studies of different architects and philosophers, and their criticism, discussing the potential of the method to implement in architecture further
