Architecture of the Senses by Juhani Pallasmaa

Every touching experience of architecture is multi-sensory; qualities of matter, space, and scale are measured equally by the eye, ear, nose, skin, tongue, skeleton and muscle.
Architecture involves seven realms of sensory experience which interact and infuse each other.

A walk through a forest or a Japanese garden is invigorating and healing because of the essential interaction of all sense modalities reinforcing each other; our sense of reality is thus strengthened and articulated.

The senses do not only mediate information for the judgment of the intellect, they are also means of articulating sensory thought.
