Fenomenologia e espaço: uma narrativa da experiência

Abstract

In na era where technology allows the construction of virtual spaces and there is an emphasis on human activities for the sense of vision, prioritizing aesthetic solutions against other spatial attributes, this monograph examines the unfolding of Maurice Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological thinking in the creation of spatial narratives The phenomenological writings of Merleau-Ponty are based on the primacy of the physical body as the basis for knowledge and the element that regulates human perceptions. Through the study of two built environment experiences: the Helsinki Museum of Contemporary Art, by architect Steven Holl (Helsinki, Denmark, 1992) and the exhibition "The Whitechapel experience-The Eden Project" by artist Hélio Oiticica (London, England, 1969), it was sought to understand how these two experiences articulate the thought of Merleau-Ponty in constructed space. Thus, it is expected to investigate possible ways in the creation of spatial narratives that promote solutions beyond only visual and aesthetic characteristics. As a result, research has proven a similar conceptual genesis in both built environments that sought to translate Merleau-Ponty's thinking into built-in space, resulting in different approaches to the body's sensory input to the environment.
