Summary

This research project explores the experiential perception of urban space through a phenomenological and multisensory approach. It is structured in two parts. The first part analyzes the spatial and morphological stimuli that shape the lived experience of a route (geometry, qualities, insertions, rhythms, atmospheres) and the senses as the means of perceiving them (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste). The theoretical framework draws on key thinkers and architects such as Peter Zumthor, Juhani Pallasmaa, Henri Lefebvre, Kevin Lynch, Gaston Bachelard, Aldo Rossi, as well as on contemporary approaches to public space design.The second part records and analyzes Marnis Street as a case study of the experiential relationship between the individual and space. The route demonstrates significant social and architectural transformations along its course, differences that form the basis for the documentation, which seeks to highlight the strong social, cultural, and spatial character of the street—where the individual and the surrounding micro-environments live, coexist, and co-shape relationships.The research is based on the documentation of elements, stimuli, sensory and emotional maps. These maps capture a subjective experience, in which space comes alive and exerts a direct influence on the person traversing it.
