Abstract: Architectural theory undergoes fundamental changes. It is no longer able to describe the complex process of the formation of modern architecture without referring to sociology or philosophy. The phenomenological concepts turn out to be most effective when trying to explain the "unreflective" and "non-symbolic" in architecture. And the main reason for the emergence of phenomenological concepts in architecture was modern "nostalgia" for authenticity. This article scrutinizes Martin Heidegger's views on architecture as a representative figure of phenomenological approach and great critic of technological invasion on art and architecture. As well as Jorn Utzon and Turgut Cansever, two different architects, from two different countries, with different world views but very similar ideas on how architecture should look like and what is ontological purpose of it.
