Abstract
Architectural space is composed of quantitative and qualitative characteristics. The former are fixed and measurable, encompassing the material constituents of space, whereas the latter are variable and immeasurable, involving immaterial aspects as well as the subject’s consciousness. Architecture is completed through human presence and acquires its ultimate meaning, its purpose extends beyond functionality and is centered on dwelling and the formation of place. The full experience of architecture requires the active engagement of all the senses, as they interact and complement one another in the perception and comprehension of space. This thesis is grounded in phenomenological theories of space, which place emphasis on the body, movement, and temporality as fundamental components of lived experience. Following the establishment of the theoretical framework, the study proceeds to the analysis of post-war case studies associated with collective memory, with primary emphasis on the attribution of meaning through personal experience and interaction with the work.
Keywords: space, memory, body, experience, lived experience
