By Juhani Pallasmaa
Probably my favourite architectural texts I have read so far, I would definitely recommend it to any student of Architecture/ Art/ ANYTHING! Haha
The book demonstrates the need for a multi sensory architecture, one which stimulates every sense accordingly and therefore provides a fuller, more wholesome environment, one that isn't dominated by the visual aspects we seem to have forced upon us today.
A fantastic book.
Favourite Quote/ passage
"Vision is regarded as the most nobel of the senses, and the ultimate human physical loss.
Architecture is regarded as an ‘art of the eye’"
"The dancer has his ear in his toes" … friedrich Nietzsche
"If the body had been easier to understand, nobody would have thought that we had a mind"
….. Richard rorty
"The door is the handshake of the building"
