Originally published in English in 1996, Eyes of the Skin has become a classic of architectural theory. The essay was born of Juhanin Pallasmaa's concern about the rising dominance of the sense of sight in architecture, a phenomenon that has silenced other sensorial qualities and narrowed our concepts and experiences of constructed space. In addition to a prologue by architect Steven Holl, this second Spanish edition includes an epilogue by Peter MacKeith about Pallasmaa. Halfway between a biography and a theoretical introduction to the architect's thought, MacKeith contextualizes the author's critical trajectory within the framework of Scandinavian and European thought and emphasizes the profound sensitivity and knowledge that underlie his approach to architecture. Publicado originariamente en ingl???s en 1996, Los ojos de la piel se ha convertido en un cl???sico de la teor???a de la arquitectura. El ensayo nace de la preocupaci???n de Juhani Pallasmaa por el creciente predominio del sentido de la vista en la reflexi???n en torno a la arquitectura, un fen???meno que ha silenciado el papel de las otras cualidades sensoriales y ha empobrecido nuestra concepci???n y experiencia del espacio construido. Adem???s del pr???logo del arquitecto Steven Holl, esta segunda edici???n en castellano incorpora un ep???logo de Peter MacKeith acerca de la figura de Pallasmaa. A medio camino entre retrato biogr???fico e introducci???n te???rica al pensamiento del arquitecto finland???s, MacKeith contextualiza la trayectoria cr???tica del autor en el marco del pensamiento n???rdico y europeo, y resalta la profunda sensibilidad y conocimiento de su aproximaci???n a la arquitectura.
