But if "we have been misguided by the view of our five separate senses as defined by Aristotle" and "perceptions are not experiences as they are mere registrations of stimuli without contextualization, judgement and meaning" there seems to be missing an extra step for the experience to somehow 'emerge' and arrive at consciousness. The only structural device available for consciousness to give context and meaning, and to construct the embodied experience, seems to be language (as both blind and deaf people have it, even though it is mediated through different sensory-motor systems). The next step for those stimuli to acquire meaning, logically, would be to enter language (?) and then they become available as experiences to consciousness so they can be stored as memory or some kind of phantasmal reflection of the phenomena (?)
Thank You for this exploration into architecture as experience
Consciousness is what produces anything good. Architecture is a means to create a better living conditions, it has no end.
Beautiful! Kiitos Juhani Pallasmaa!
Marvellous speech, but can you provide titles of picture example of architecture please, especially the one of waterfall
Thanks .

Handy thinker, terrible speaker.
