Juhani Pallasmaa Finnish architect ABOUT JUHANI PALLASMAA IN AN INTERVIEW: He promotes a back-to-basics, evolutionary approach to architecture that has become revolutionary in the 21st century. He told interviewer Rachel Hurst that computers have been misused to replace human thought and imagination. "The computer has no capacity for empathy, for compassion. The computer cannot imagine the use of space," he has said. "But the most important thing is that the computer cannot hesitate. Working between the mind and the hand we often hesitate, and we reveal our own answers in our hesitations." Pallasmaa also suggests that architects and designers read novels and poetry to better understand architecture. Juhani Pallasmaa’s Book List is an eclectic mix of unexpected titles. "In my view, literature and the arts provide deep lessons on the essences of the world and life," he told Designers & Books . "Because architecture is fundamentally about life, I find the literary classics, or any fine novels and poems, to be essential books on architecture."

Juhani Pallasmaa Finnish architect HIS BOOKS AND WORKS: The Embodied Image: Imagination and Imagery in Architecture All artistic and architectural effects are evoked, mediated and experienced through poeticised images. These images are embodied and lived experience that take place in ‘the flesh of the world', becoming part of us, at the same time that we unconsciously project aspects of ourselves on to a conceived space object or event. Artistic images have a life and reality of their own and they develop through unexpected associations rather than rational and causal logic. Images are usually thought of as retinal pictures but profound poetic images are multi-sensory and they address us in an embodied and emotive manner. Architecture is usually analysed and taught as a discipline that articulates space and geometry, but the mental impact of architecture arises significantly from its image quality that integrates the various aspects and dimensions of experience into a singular, internalised and remembered entity. The material reality is fused with our mental and imaginative realm. The book is organised into five main parts that look at in turn: the image in contemporary culture; language, thought and the image; the many faces of the image; the poetic image; and finally the architectural image. The Embodied Image is illustrated with over sixty images in pairs, which are diverse in subject. They range from scientific images to historic artistic and architectural masterpieces. Artworks span Michelangelo and Vermeer to Gordon Matta-Clark and architecture takes in Modern Masters such as Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Alvar Aalto, as well as significant contemporary works by Steven Holl and Daniel Libeskind.

Juhani Pallasmaa Finnish architect HIS BOOKS AND WORKS: The Eyes of the Skin 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 in the mid-1990s. 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.
