EYES OF THE SKIN, THE. Architecture and the Senses

Author: Pallasmaa, Juhani. Preface by Steven Holl.
Year: 2005
Country or State of Origin: Great Britain

This book 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 first surveys 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 roles of the other senses in authentic architectural experiences, and points the way towards a multi-sensory architecture which facilitates a sense of belonging and 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.

FINNISH SUMMER HOUSES.

Author: Jetsonen, Jari and Sirkkaliisa
Year: 2008
Country or State of Origin: New York

This book presents in detail twenty villas, cottages, and cabins by architects such as Eliel Saarinen, Oiva Kallio, Alvar Aalto, and Juhani Pallasmaa, among many others. Authors Jari and Sirkkaliisa Jetsonen use contemporary photographs, archival images, drawings, and plans to illustrate the diversity found in the designs of Finnish summer residences. From Lars Sonck's Lasses Villa (1895), with its traditional farmhouse elements, and Alvar Aalto's Muuratsalo Experimental House (1952–54) to Erkki Kairamo's sparse Villa Aulikki (1995–2003), which seems to grow out of its landscape, the works in this book are of a highly personal nature; indeed, most of the summer houses are still used by the architect or the families of their children. The very best examples of these fantastic summer homes are collected here, making FINNISH SUMMER HOUSES an inspiration for anyone dreaming about a summer home of their own.
