An overview of phenomenological theories and its impact on the atmosphere of architecture from the perspective of architectural thinkers and philosophers

Architectural spaces are more effective than the architectural discourse would reasonably like to admit. It can even be argued that the atmospheric dimension of a built environment is the key to architectural quality. Atmosphere is one of the most important topics in conveying the sense of experience of place which has been given special attention by thinkers, philosophers and architectural thinkers in the last two decades. The type of this research is analytical and the research paradigm is interpretive up tp the phenomenology approach. It has a developmental aim and has fundamental characteristics. The method of collecting information is documentary and library. First, by using the content analysis method, the main concepts have been investigated and steps have been taken in order to check the understanding of the architectural space. In the first phase, the concept of atmosphere in the architectural space is examined, and then phenomenology is explained as the main basis for knowing and understanding the atmosphere of the space. Then, in the third phase, with the ideas of other architectural theorists related to the atmosphere, and in the fourth phase, the investigation and recognition of the effective factors in the atmosphere of the space based on the theories of architectural philosophers will be discussed.In conclusion, a list of factors affecting the understanding of the atmosphere based on the theories of thinkers and architects will be provided, and a list of gaps in this field will be provided for future research.
