Perceptual Anchoring:An Architectural Design Method Originating from and Returning to Experience
As an ontology and epistemology based on subjective perceptual experience,it is difficult to direct to the objective and rational design methodology,which is also the reason why the design methods of contemporary"perceptual phenomenology"architectural works are difficult to interpret.Combining the concepts of Merleau-Ponty's"perceptual phenomenology"and Steven Hall's"anchoring",this paper proposes that"perceptual anchoring"is the starting point of the phenomenological design method,and then points out that the design operation of physical experience is based on"touch-focus-body schema",and the design operation of spiritual experience is based on"extension-suggestion-narrative".Finally,the"perceptual anchoring"is transformed into the approach of architectural design works,in order to interpret the design technique based on"perceptual phenomenology".
