Spatial Perception, Existential Senses, In-Situ, Spatial ExperienceAbstract
With digital technology becoming a dominant lifestyle nowadays, people tend to indulge too much in the virtual experience of a place without actually being there. This excessive digital consumption gives an unreal sense of spatial experience to today's generation. Therefore, this research aims to explore the pattern of spatial perception and existential senses of being in a place from the interior architecture students' perspective. The study employed a qualitative method of 'non-verbal interview' which was retrieved from the students' spatial experience portfolios. This study highlights the importance of seeing and experiencing a place in-situ to truly understand the architecture.
