AIA Akron AIA Akron is proud to support the AIA Ohio Lending Library! ???? February Themed Reading: Architecture For The Senses! ???? This month, we're exploring "The Eyes of the Skin: Architecture and the Senses" by Juhani Pallasmaa, proudly sponsored by AIA Akron. Pallasmaa challenges us to rethink how we experience architecture—not just through sight but through touch, sound, and memory. This book explores how the built environment shapes our emotions and perceptions, advocating for a more immersive and human-centered approach to design. For a complete reading experience, pair it with: Red Wine ?? - A deep, sensory indulgence that parallels the book’s exploration of texture and atmosphere. Earl Grey Tea ?? - Warm and fragrant, perfect for reflecting on the multi-sensory nature of space. Dark Hot Chocolate ?? - Rich and immersive, much like the themes of the book itself. ?? Limited copies available! Head over to AIA Ohio Overdrive and sign in with your AIA Member ID to secure your copy of this insightful read. Discover how architecture isn’t just something we see—it’s something we feel. ??? #TheEyesOfTheSkin #JuhaniPallasmaa #SensoryDesign #ArchitectureAndSenses #AIAOhio #AIAAkron #MonthlyReading #BookLovers #LibraryLove #Libby #LibbyOverdrive
