…for perception is not an interior image of exterior objects but stands for things themselves. Our brain is not the seat of neuronal cinema that reproduces the world; rather our perceptions are inscribed on the surface of things, as images amongst images

“Every touching experience of architecture is multi-sensory; qualities of matter, space, and scale are measured equally by the eye, ear, nose skin, tongue, skeleton and muscle. Architecture involves seven realms of sensory experience which interact and infuse each other.”

“Architecture intertwines the perception of time, space, light and materials, existing on a ‘pre theoretical ground.’ The phenomena which occur within the space of a reflection of materials on a surface - all have integral relations in the realm of perception. The transparency of a membrane, the chalky dullness of plaster, the glossy reflection of opaque glass, and the beam of sunlight intermesh in reciprocal relationships that form the particular experience of a place.”
