In psychology, the sense of self concept is one of the important primary understanding for self growth and awareness. 'Being present at the moment' and aware of the situation we are in, is the phenomenological thinking principle, from the human being perspective. Establishing from a meditative state we can begin to unravel the complexities of phenomena in relation to our sense of self with our surroundings. In this podcast episode, we attempted in the first instance to interpret this awareness and underline the importance of consciousness in phenomenology to postulate how theory of architecture should be considered in architectural practice.
