About EAP

Environmental and Architectural Phenomenology, published three times a year, is a forum and clearing house for research and design that incorporate a qualitative approach to environmental and architectural experience.

 One key concern of EAP is design, education, and policy supporting and enhancing natural and built environments that are beautiful, alive, and humane. Realizing that a clear conceptual stance is integral to informed research and design, the editors emphasize phenomenological approaches but also cover other styles of qualitative, descriptive research. Exemplary themes include:

  • Sense of place;

  • Architectural and landscape meaning;

  • Changing conceptions of space, place, and nature;

  • Home, dwelling, and journey;

  • The nature of environmental and architectural experience;

  • Environmental design as placemaking;

  • The role of body and feelings in environmental and architectural experience;

  • Technology, nature, place, and environment;

  • Environmental encounter and its relation to environmental responsibility and action;

  • The role of everyday things--furnishings, tools, clothing, landscape features and so forth--in supporting peoples' sense of environmental well being;

  • Sacred space, landscape, and architecture;

  • The practice of a lived environmental ethic.

EAP welcomes short articles, reviews, letters, conference information, news of publications, and so forth. Send correspondence to the Editor.
