The eyes of the skin
Architecture and the Senses
Juhani Pallasmaa
Summary of good words:
The view of Ashley Montagu, the anthropologist, based on medical evidence, confirms the primary of the haptic realm:
The skin is the oldest and the most sensitive of our organs, our first medium of communication, and our most efficient protector...Even the transparent cornea of the eye is overlain by a layer of modified skin...
Touch is the parent of our eyes, ears, nose and mouth. It is the sense which became differentiated into the others, a fact that seems to be recognized in the age-old evaluation of touch as "the mother of the senses".
