Abstract
The article is a fragment of the scientific research devoted to the analysis of modern approaches to the understanding of architecture. It considers the problems of phenomenological approach to architecture. Applied to architectural issues, the phenomenological approach can be considered as very productive and promising, but only as it appears to be practiced by K. Norberg-Schulz and J. Pallasmaa. The article notes the fundamental unity of views, which is demonstrated by representatives of the phenomenological approach, despite the individual specificity of the each representative’s position. Probably, the integrity and depth of the phenomenological concept (in its “primordial form”) is consonant with the comprehensiveness of each individual act of perception. The author also draws attention to the significant circumstance, that the phenomenological approach is in fundamentally irreconcilable contradiction (conceptual and methodological) to the numerous attempts by “architectural semiotics and structuralists” to explain the whole by breaking it up into “semantic fragments”. He analyzes the correlation between the position of representatives of the phenomenological approach to architecture and scientific views in the sphere of modern psychology and analytical philosophy. The article notes the basic similarity of the phenomenological concept with M. Polanyi’s theory of “tacit knowledge”, in which those kinds of knowledge (and also practical skills) are considered and which cannot be formalized (partially or completely) for the purpose of transferring to others. The author also offers for consideration the introduction of concept of “phenomenology of semi-instinctive behavior in its dynamic formation”.
