ABSTRACT This study examines how phenomenological philosophy expands the space-human relationship based on experience in cultural, social and psychological contexts through architecture and modern art works. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of phenomenological perspective on conceptual art and architecture by analyzing Marcel Duchamp's works that redefine the space-human dialectic with architectural components such as windows and doors; transforming the perception of space and objects. Perception and phenomenology of space are discussed within the scope of the theories of different thinkers in the context of 20th century space conceptualizations. The sample of the study, whose conceptual structure is developed based on the qualitative research method, consists of four works of Duchamp associated with architecture. The presence of perception theories such as Empiricism, Rationalism, Nativism and Gestalt in Duchamp's works is questioned on the basis of the phenomenological approach. As a result, it has been determined that Duchamp's architecture-related and experience-oriented works present indicators that can be explained especially by Empiricist and Gestalt theories within perception theories. In a general evaluation, it can be said that Duchamp prepared the ground for the phenomenological interpretation of architectural space with his avant-garde space studies.
