The Evolution of our Phenomenological Experience on Site

THE EVOLUTION OF OUR PHENOMENOLOGICAL EXPERIANCE

We first experience the site in relation to what we know, we tend to compare and rush to judgments. The more we experience the site the closer we come to its totality and not only what is striking. Our experience developed throughout the several site visits which provided a more similar yet not totally accurate image. The more we went the more we started to get adapted to what was striking for us at the beginning as it dominated our phenomenological experience. So the longer you experience it the more we start to see the small details that make the difference. The striking elements that lead to an unfavorable judgment for us were: Mainly the 5 senses, noise, the smell of garbage, traffic, too focused on monuments, feeling outcasted from the natives of the place.
