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. Juhani Pallasmaa argues that the suppression of the other four sensory realms has led to the overall impoverishment of our built environment, often diminishing the emphasis on the spatial experience of a building and architecture’s ability to inspire, engage and be wholly life enhancing. This third edition features a new essay by architectural author and educator Peter MacKeith on the fundamental humanity, insight and sensitivity of Pallasmaa’s approach to architecture, a foreword by the internationally renowned architect Steven Holl, and a revised introduction by Pallasmaa himself. Juhani Pallasmaa is one of Finland’s most distinguished architects and architectural thinkers, and in addition to academic positions in Finland, he has held visiting professorships at several universities worldwide. Pallasmaa is the author/editor of over thirty books.
