Description
The Embodied Image explores how artistic and architectural effects are evoked through poeticised images. These images become part of our experiences, influencing how we perceive and interact with spaces, objects, and events. In this book, Juhani Pallasmaa examines the role of imagery in architecture, arguing that its mental impact arises from its image quality, which integrates various aspects of experience into a singular entity. The book is organised around five main parts, each addressing a different aspect of the relationship between images, culture, and architecture. The Embodied Image features over sixty paired images, ranging from scientific illustrations to historic artistic and architectural masterpieces, including works by Michelangelo, Vermeer, Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto, Steven Holl, and Daniel Libeskind.
