En Búsqueda del Alma de la Arquitectura. Desafiando la Complejidad de la Arquitectura Emocional en el Diseño de Proyectos Perceptuales por Estudiantes de Arquitectura

Abstract

This work is based on a need to position architecture as a discipline that helps society in various complex contexts, one of which is the grieving process that became a global constant after the pandemic caused by COVID-19. This work is classified as research based on documentary approaches, a process of application of phenomenological-spiritual design, and a product that evaluates the result of the design in students with the purpose of showing that architecture is not only a tectonic habitat, but also the experience within the space. Likewise, the results demonstrate an opportunity to translate the intangible into a process that helps enhance emotions within buildings. The objective of this work is to question and understand the phenomenology of architecture as a way of perceiving the interior space of buildings and producing an emotional architecture as a challenge for architecture students to generate a proposal where, helped by multidisciplinarity in the design process, it is possible to understand and produce spaces that pose a spiritual function through intangible ele- ments that transcend their meaning with the appearance of the soul of architecture. The design of emotional parameters such as faith, meditation, contemplation, connection, relationship, among others, is part of the basis that phenomenological design translates into creative proposals with the aim of potentiating the design process in exercises of sensory and emotional architecture.

Keywords: architectural phenomenology, perception, soul of architecture, design process, sen- sory-emotional architecture.
