The Subjective Meaning of Milieu through the Example of Arne Maasik’s Atmospheric City Photography

Summary/Abstract: The focus of this paper is the rediscovery of the subjective meaning of milieu through the example of the architectural photographer Arne Maasik’s city photography. In the article, the meaning of the phenomenological embodied terms ‘milieu’ and ‘atmosphere’ are studied, offering the opportunity to unite, in a useful way, interdisciplinary human geography and pictorial theories into landscape representation. The purpose is to point out embodied self-realisation in the milieu of the landscapes, highlighting the value of the subjective milieu approach for the planning practice of the heritage preservation-oriented milieu.
