Abstract

Juhani Pallasmaa, Finnish architect, introduces us to his concept of dwelling. In five essays written in a period of twenty one years he builds from different perspectives —like aesthetics, architecture and philosophy— and angles —like the singularity of the body, the house or the city as a collective— explains the importance of provide domicile in the world, a top subject in the agenda of architects, philosophers, urbanist and sociologist that pretends to understand the human and his relation to the world, space and time. The rhythm, fluency and the strong philosophical arguments used without the restriction of the academic structure made this book kind to every reader, specialist or novice, interested in this subject.
