Discursos de Christian Norberg-Schulz e Juhani Pallasmaa Chaves Hernández, Ricardo architecture Christian Norberg-Schulz body exterior-interior phenomenology Juhani Pallasmaa arquitetura Christian Norberg-Schulz corpo exterior-interior fenomenologia Juhani Pallasmaa In architectural theory, phenomenology is understood as a movement that investigates architecture as a human experience. Within this movement, this article highlights two discourses: that of Christian Norberg-Schulz and Juhani Pallasmaa for presenting, respectively, a “phenomenology of the exterior” and a “phenomenology of the interior”– architectural domains that are interdependent. These architects-phenomenologists have argued about architecture-place and architecture-body in order to state out their critical viewpoint towards the modern and postmodern movement. The purpose of this article is to understand and confront these discourses by representing a sequentiality of thoughts that (in conclusion) “open the door” to a (new) contemporary phenomenology in architecture. The development of the theme involves the approach of the problems of architecture as an image and architecture of body presence, the latter essential for contemporary phenomenology. Methodologically, this logical follow-up is presented and followed by a contrast of the ideas addressed. It ends with the highlighting of the thoughts of Norberg-Schulz and Pallasmaa that developed the analysis of the notion of the body in the phenomenology of architecture. This expansion promotes and introduces contemporary phenomenology (atmospheric phenomenology as architectural quality) as an effective application in current practice for prominent architects such as Daniel Libeskind, Steven Holl, and Peter Zumthor. Na teoria arquitetónica, a fenomenologia entende-se como um movimento que investiga a arquitetura enquanto experiência humana. Dentro desse movimento, este artigo destaca dois discursos: o de Christian Norberg-Schulz e de Juhani Pallasmaa por apresentarem, respetivamente, uma “fenomenologia do exterior” e uma “fenomenologia do interior”– domínios pertencentes e interdependentes da arquitetura. Estes arquitetos-fenomenólogos  problematizaram sobre arquitetura-lugar e arquitetura-corpo para marcar as suas posições críticas ao movimento moderno e pós-moderno. O objetivo deste artigo é compreender e confrontar esses discursos por representarem uma sequencialidade de pensamentos que (conclui-se) “abrem a porta” a uma (nova) fenomenologia contemporânea na arquitetura. O desenvolvimento do tema passa pela abordagem das problemáticas da arquitetura enquanto imageme arquitetura de presença corporal; esta última essencial para a fenomenologia contemporânea. Metodologicamente, apresenta-se esse seguimento lógico seguido de uma contraposição das ideias abordadas. Conclui-se, destacando os pensamentos de Norberg-Schulz e Pallasmaa que desenvolvem a análise da noção do corpo na fenomenologia de arquitetura. Esta ampliação encaminha e introduz a fenomenologia contemporânea (fenomenologia de atmosfera como qualidade arquitetónica), aplicação efetiva na prática atual para arquitetos proeminentes como Daniel Libeskind, Steven Holl e Peter Zumthor.
