The Eyes of the Skin [electronic resource]: Architecture and the Senses Juhani Pallasmaa - Hoboken John Wiley & Sons 2012 - 1 digital resource (128 pages) 26 cm

First published in 1996, The Eyes of the Skin has become a classic of architectural theory. It asks the far-reaching question why, when there are five senses, has one single sense - sight - become so predominant in architectural culture and design? With the ascendancy of the digital and the all-pervasive use of the image electronically, it is a subject that has become all the more pressing and topical since the first edition's publication in the mid-1990s. Juhani Pallasmaa argues that the suppression of the other four sensory realms has led to the overall impoverishment of our built environmen.
