This paper reviews the impact of phenomenologist philosophers, Heidegger and Husserl on architecture. The difference in approaches of these two philosophers is clarified and the resulting impact on architectural approaches is explained. An urban element, the square, is then chosen as an example to demonstrate the differences. It is shown that the phenomenology of Heidegger emphasizes the appropriateness of architectural practice amongst surrounding elements, while the phenomenological treatment of architecture by Husserl leads to a pure knowledge and mental images of an architectural monument.
