Just reading the eyes of the skin by Pallasmaa, initially became interested in Zumthors work for his sensual approach to architecture as well as the emotional spaces he creates. Reading Pallasmaa's books for his intellectual insights into the arguments for sensual architecture- architecture which appeals to all of the senses. What seems important in all of this is how we perceive the world. Perception seems key to understanding the way we experience our world- how is our perception linked to our memories?
Look back at sense perception chapters in phenomenology of perception. What links our perception to our emotions? What do we perceive in the world which makes for more emotional responses to our environments? Does Peter Zumthor utilise these aspects of our perception to create more emotional spaces?
