THE EYES OF THE SKIN

Explore the relationship between architecture and the sensory experience with the fourth edition of this groundbreaking work

First published in 1996, The Eyes of the Skin is a classic of architectural theory. It asks the far-reaching question why, when there are five senses, is one single sense--sight--so predominant in architectural culture and design? With the ascendancy of the digital and the all-pervasive use of the image electronically, the subject is 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.

For a student reading this text for the first time, The Eyes of the Skin is a revelation. It provides a fresh, compelling insight into architectural culture which continues to inspire more than a quarter-century after its initial publication.

The fourth edition of The Eyes of the Skin also features:

  • The author's latest views on the emphasis of place, unfocused perception and existential experience
  • Updates and clarifications throughout, to reinforce how our sense of self in the world remains our most important sense with the greatest architectural impact
  • An updated Foreword that touches on the current understanding of the seminal importance of the existential sense

The Eyes of the Skin is a must-read for all architecture students, who will find its insights transformative.

肌膚的眼睛
探索建築與感官體驗之間的關係,這是這本開創性作品的第四版
《肌膚的眼睛》首次出版於1996年,是建築理論的經典之作。它提出了一個深遠的問題:為什麼在有五種感官的情況下,視覺這一單一感官在建築文化和設計中如此占主導地位?隨著數字化的崛起和電子圖像的普及使用,這個問題變得更加迫切和時尚,自第一版出版以來,這個問題變得更加迫切和時尚。朱哈尼·帕拉斯馬(Juhani Pallasmaa)認為,對其他四個感官領域的壓抑導致了我們建築環境的整體貧困,往往減少了對建築空間體驗的重視,以及建築激發、參與和完全提升生活的能力。
對於第一次閱讀這本書的學生來說,《肌膚的眼睛》是一個啟示。它提供了對建築文化的新鮮、引人入勝的洞察力,即使在首次出版的25年後,仍然能夠激發靈感。
《肌膚的眼睛》第四版還包括:
- 作者對地方重視、模糊感知和存在體驗的最新觀點
- 全書進行了更新和澄清,以加強我們對自我在世界中的感知仍然是我們最重要的感官,對建築影響最大的認識
- 更新的前言,觸及到對存在感的重要性的當前理解
《肌膚的眼睛》是所有建築學生必讀的書籍,他們將發現其中的見解具有轉化力量。
