Vietos fenomenologija: nuo erdvės iki vietos koncepcijos architektūroje
Phenomenology of Place: From Space to Place in Architecture

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the inquiry into how the appearance of phenomenology of place was related to the feeling of some geographers that during the eighties of the last century a notion of place was not sufficiently examined despite its centrality to geography as a discipline. The work of Canadian geographers Yi-Fu Tuan and Edward Relph is reconsidered and their contribution to the essential shift in the understanding and explanation of place is discussed. The conceptualization of place provided by both geographers who adopted a pheneomenological perspective is re-examined, especially their impact on research going beyond the limits of human geography. It is suggested that the ideological attitude of architectural modernism to the past prevented architectural discourse from discovering and embracing the category of place. Architectural discourse preferred the category of space, and this had serious consequences. However, the delelopment of phenomenology of architecture has enabled the notion of place to regain currency in recent architectural and urban research.
