"Phenomenologies of the City: Studies in the History and Philosophy of Architecture brings architecture and urbanism into dialogue with phenomenology. Phenomenology has informed debate about the city from social sciences to cultural studies. Within architecture, however, phenomenological inquiry has been neglecting the question of the city. Addressing this lacuna, this book suggests that the city presents not only the richest, but also the politically most urgent horizon of reference for philosophical reflection on the cultural and ethical dimensions of architecture. The contributors to this volume are architects and scholars of urbanism. Some have backgrounds in literature, history, religious studies, and art history. The book features 16 chapters by younger scholars as well as established thinkers including Peter Carl, David Leatherbarrow, Alberto Pérez-Gomez, Wendy Pullan and Dalibor Vesely. Rather than developing a single theoretical statement, the book addresses architecture’s relationship with the city in a wide range of historical and contemporary contexts. The chapters trace hidden genealogies, and explore the ruptures as much as the persistence of recurrent cultural motifs. Together, these interconnected phenomenologies of the city raise simple but fundamental questions: What is the city for, how is it ordered, and how can it be understood? The book does not advocate a return to a naive sense of ’unity’ or ’order’. Rather, it investigates how architecture can generate meaning and forge as well as contest social and cultural representations."

"Arsitektur dalam pandangan umum adalah usaha manusia untuk membangun tempat tinggal yang aman dan nyaman. Proses penciptaan bangunan yang dikenal selama ini selalu melibatkan ukuran matematis, tetapi sesungguhnya keseluruhan rangkaian usaha ini merupakan proses yang sangat kompleks. Arsitektur, secara konseptual, didefinisikan sebagai usaha untuk membangun ruang bagi manusia, yang melibatkan penambahan satu dimensi tertentu, yaitu dimensi kemanusiaan. Penciptaan bangunan didasari oleh relasi kuasa yang terjadi dalam lingkungan sosial. Hal inilah yang melahirkan berbagai gaya arsitektur bangunan secara kultural. Keberadaan bangunan memberi peluang bagi penghuni untuk memacu inteligensi melalui adaptasi dan desain menjadi mediasi bagi intensionalitas penghuni terhadap bangunan.

Architecture in general is a human’s effort to build a secure and comfort home. The creation of a building as we know, is always involving the mathematical measure, however, the whole sequence of these efforts is a complicated process. In a conceptual understanding, architecture is defined as a matter of making a human space, which is adding a particular dimension, i.e. humanistic dimension. The creation of a building is based on the relation of power, which is happened in a social environment. This is what produce so many different style of architectur in culture. The exsistence of a building gives the probability to the dweller for boosting his/her intelligence through the adaptation and the design stance, which is become a mediation for the dweller’s intentionality to the building."
