This study proposes a methodological approach to the phenomenology of liveability and place-making in Fine Arts campuses, focusing on spatial comprehension and perception within campuses. It synthesizes three frameworks–Cartesian criticism, phenomenology of liveability, and campus historicity–to derive liveability and place-making parameters guiding data collection and analysis. A hybrid method integrates (1) natural walking for embodied experience, (2) dialectic sketching for conceptual imagery, (3) linkography to analyze signifier-signified relations, and (4) empirical validation via surveys. Protocols involve five participants, while surveys with fifty students, faculty, staff, and visitors ensure diversity across a representative population of 1400. The dataset provides robust empirical material aligned with phenomenological standards, prioritizing depth over breadth, alongside survey validation. Findings reveal that Object-Inherent Phenomena (e.g. climate, topography, material texture, design language) predominate as signifiers, whereas Subject-Inherent Phenomena (e.g. multisensory meaning-making, position, empathy, interactive routine) predominate as signifieds. Nevertheless, inverse patterns and neutral phenomena (e.g. landscape, temporal meaning-making) reveal complex interrelations. Consequently, liveability emerges as an architectural affordance shaped by the dialectical interplay between signifiers and signifieds. Survey results validate this conceptual distinction, highlighting context-dependent campus experiences influenced by perceptual clarity, interpretive flexibility, and user group priorities. Ultimately, place-making transcends physical design, inherently integrating spatial experience.
