This is the second edition weblog jointly created by the Masters Program candidates from Nanyang of Fine Arts (Singapore) and University of Huddersfield (United Kingdom). The main objective of this blog is to evaluate contemporary design issues in spatial design, particularly in the fields of Innovation & Technology and Critical Design Analysis . In this blog, we will post our research essays and weekly reflections. Do join us in our discussion forum to find out what we do in this virtual studio space!

Phenomenology is a wonderful way of understanding secrets beyond the obvious facets of life and beyond. However, often misinterpreted by mediocre designers who think of it as a mere design tool that is supremely poetic and sensitive. To these class of people, welcome to ‘Bad poets society’.

My first understanding about phenomenology is just a design philosophy that considering human psychology, consciousness. Well,merely making a design which has psychological impact. In other words maybe, still in the ‘bad poets society’ (lol) Still learning to understand it beyond what is obvious and dig into deeper layer.

Phenomenology is first and formost a philosophy that has influenced many disciplines, for a detailed online discussion of the philosophy with NAFA 1st MA cohort, see http://transmaterialasia.wordpress.com/forum/
For a brief overview of architects whose design philosophy has been influenced by phenomenology, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenomenology_%28architecture%29
Hope this clears the mystifying air of phenomenology.
