Description

The Eyes of the Skin: Architecture and the Senses by Juhani Pallasmaa. This groundbreaking work explores the relationship between architecture and our sensory experience, questioning why sight is so predominant in architectural culture and design. Juhani Pallasmaa argues that the suppression of other senses has led to a diminished emphasis on spatial experience and the ability of buildings to inspire and engage us. First published in 1996, The Eyes of the Skin continues to provide fresh insights into architectural culture, now updated with new perspectives on place, perception, and existential experience. This fourth edition is essential reading for architecture students seeking transformative ideas about the built environment.
