Explain the significance of each of the five phenomena below, according to Pallasmaa. You must cite page numbers for full credit for each.

Juhani Pallasmaa’s The Eyes of the Skin first appeared in architecture in 1996. It’s a bit of hybrid – part treatise, and part manifesto. The main goal is to question the “ocular-centrism” of architecture both in Classicism and in modernism. Instead, it proposes a more “phenomeonological” approach.” For up to five points of extra credit, explain the significance of each of the five phenomena below, according to Pallasmaa. You must cite page numbers for full credit for each.
1. Shadows
