The Eyes of the Skin: Architecture and the Senses by Juhani Pallasmaa

5.0

The Eyes of the Skin is a thought-provoking book about the role of sight in today's culture and the bias we have progressively acquired towards this specific sensory factor. This short piece serves to illustrate how cities and art have developed an absence of multi-sensory inputs and why these neglected senses are so important. The message is powerful and it transcends the architectural sphere. This occurrence is seen in every day things and has affected our mental capacities and our appreciation for space and time. A short read worth reading.
