The Eyes of the skin: architecture and the senses
Pallasmaa, Juhani
The Eyes of the skin: architecture and the senses Juhani Pallasmaa - UK John Wiley 2005 - 80 p.
The Eyes of the Skin has become a classic of architectural theory and consists of two extended essays. The first surveys the historical development of the ocular-centric paradigm in western culture since the Greeks, and its impact on the experience of the world and the nature of architecture. The second examines the role of the other senses in authentic architectural experiences, and points the way towards a multi-sensory architecture which facilitates a sense of belonging and integration.
