Meisenheimer's books document a new kind of design theory. It is based on phenomenological philosophy in the sense of Maurice Merleau-Ponty , Gernot Böhme , Hermann Schmitz 's New Phenomenology and his own perception and movement studies in the space laboratory , which Meisenheimer founded in 1976 at the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences and also operated at the Vienna University of Technology .

Objective and subjective parameters were distinguished and related to one another: material properties of the built things (forms, functions, technical) on the one hand and forms of subjective experience, typical perceptual situations, memories on the other.
