Environmental & Architectural Phenomenology

http://www.arch.ksu.edu/seamon/EAP.html

Published three times a year, ENVIRONMENTAL & ARCHITECTURAL PHENOMENOLOGY is a forum and clearing house for research and design that incorporate a qualitative approach to environmental and architectural experience.

One key concern of EAP is design, education, and policy supporting and enhancing natural and built environments that are beautiful, alive, and humane. Realizing that a clear conceptual stance is integral to informed research and design, the editors emphasize phenomenological approaches but also cover other styles of qualitative research.

Exemplary themes
--Nature of place and place experience
--Sense of place;
--Architectural and landscape meaning;
--Changing conceptions of space, place, and nature;
--Home, dwelling, and journey;
--The nature of environmental and architectural experience;
--Environmental design as place making;
--The practice of a lived environmental ethic.
