Features: This book provides an overview of the design works and the goals and themes of the writings of Juhani Pallasmaa. The interplay 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 clarity and simplicity of thought formed in a subtle integration with experience and senses. This is a minimalist approach that emerges from a gradual process of condensation, rather than from preconceived aesthetics or forms.
