Juhani Pallasmaa’s The Eyes of the Skin
Juhani Pallasmaa’s The Eyes of the Skin first appeared in architecture in 1996. It’s a bit of hybrid – part treatise, and part manifesto. The main goal is to question the “ocular-centrism” of architecture both in Classicism and in modernism. Instead, it proposes a more “phenomeonological” approach.”
Explain the significance of each of the five phenomena below, according to Pallasmaa:
1. Shadows
2. Scent
3. Acoustics
4. Touch
5. Memory
