Abstract: 
Through analyzing the current status of architecture in both practice and education a lack of concern for the relationship between the user and the built environment becomes apparent. Architecture has evolved into a "form" driven discipline in which history, context, and user-interaction are often neglected. This thesis will investigate how the concept of phenomenology in architecture can contribute to a better understanding of the built environment. In this notion, it is pertinent to address the work-dwelling space of architecture students in such a way that the experience of architecture becomes a source of knowledge and a learning tool; embracing, then, a practice and education of an architecture of quality, diversity, and experience.
