Résumé :
|
The answer, argues Juhani Pallasmaa, lies in the dominance of the visual realm in today's technological and consumer culture, which has pervaded architectural practice and education. While our experience of the world is formulated by a combination of five senses, much architecture is produced under consideration of only one - sight. The suppression of the other sensory realms has led to an impoverishment of our environment, causing a feeling of detachment and alienation. First published in 1986, The eyes of the skin has become a classic of architectural theory and is required reading on courses in schools of architecture around the world. It consists of two extended essays. The fisrt survey the historical development of the ocularcentric paradigm in western culture since the Greeks, and its impact on the experience of the world and the nature of architecture. The second examines the role of the other senses in authentic architectural experiences, and points the way towards a multi-sensory architecture which facilitates a sense of belonging an integration. Since the book's first publication, interest in the role of the body and the senses has been emerging in both architectural philosophy and teaching. This new, revised and extended edition of this seminal work will not only inspire architects and students to design more holistic architecture, but will enrich the general reader's perception of the world around them.
