This special issue of EAP celebrates 25 years of publication and includes 19 invited essays organized around four themes:
Place—lived emplacement, place attachment, and environmental design as place making;
Nature—the lived constitution of the natural environment and natural world;
Real-world applications of phenomenological principles (transit design; virtual reality; environmental education);
Broader conceptual issues (the subjectivity-objectivity duality; phenomenology vs. analytic science; phenomenology as practiced by non-phenomenologists; phenomenological understanding vs. practical applications; parallels between real-world and phenomenological pathways).

About
Published three times a year, EAP is a forum and clearing house for research and design that incorporate a qualitative approach to environmental and architectural experience.
One key concern of EAP is design, education, and policy supporting and enhancing natural and built environments that are beautiful, alive, and humane. Realizing that a clear conceptual stance is integral to informed research and design, the editors emphasize phenomenological approaches but also cover other styles of qualitative research.
