ABSTRACT
From the hypothesis of the three worlds, the idea that there is a complex interrelation of the spheres of reality, is explored when we fully approach the concept of experience; which leads to a more detailed phenomenological exploration of the observer, who is the one at the center of the notion of experience. The deep analysis of those who live the experience of architecture, leads to a phenomenology of forms that, according to their nature, are located in different spheres of reality. Research on the imaginary is introduced as the theoretical context in which, what has been explored around the phenomenology of architectural experience, can be integrated. The schematization that is related to the emergence of the imaginary of the city and of architecture serves to address the differences between the imaginary, imagination, and representation. Through the recognition of these differences, the functions, and processes of each of these abilities or structures of the mind and their impact on the production process of our designs are explained. The scenarios in dream experiences are explored as a source of useful information to understand the subjective part of the experience of architecture and as a way of accessing the deepest and most unknown regions of the mind.
