The Eyes Of The Skin by Juhani Pallasmaa

Architecture and the Senses

This thought-provoking work delves into the sensory experiences of architecture, challenging the dominance of visual perception in the field. It argues for a more holistic approach that embraces all the senses, emphasizing the importance of touch, sound, and even smell in shaping our understanding and interaction with built environments. By exploring the profound connection between the body and architectural spaces, the book advocates for designs that engage the full spectrum of human senses, fostering deeper emotional and psychological connections with the spaces we inhabit.
