Features: This book provides an overview of the design works and the objectives and themes of the writings of Juhani Pallasmaa. The interaction between architectural works, product design, and artistic experimental works, as well as the mutual influence between theoretical concerns and design works, ideas, and craftsmanship, are all reflected alongside autobiographical confessions. The title of the book, "Sensory Minimalism," emphasizes the architect's desire: the formation of clear and concise thought that merges seamlessly with experience and sensory subtlety. This is a minimalist approach that emerges from a gradual process of condensation, rather than from preconceived aesthetics or forms.
