Urban ambiences by the spatial behaviorism and the phenomenology of perception

Abstract

In architecture research, urban ambiances are analyzed from spatial categories or from the experience of the body in the world. Both perspectives conform in reality, suggesting an overcoming of the classic dualism and a total understanding of ambiances. So, this article aimed to structure, conceptually, the urban ambiances through an adverse methodological perspectives in an interdisciplinary direction. The interlocution of the authors demonstrated the need for a phenomenological foundation of the spaces, however, approaching these, firstly, through deferences provided by intellectualism, for the elaboration of hypotheses. Thus, it was allowed to construct an understanding of the ambiances as perceived and realized by the subject in the world and by itself, a own spatial unit endowed with values arisen from the mutuality subject-world.
