“I confront the city with my body; my legs measure the length of the arcade and the width of the square; my gaze unconsciously projects my body onto the facade of the cathedral, where it roams over the mouldings and contours, sensing the size of recesses and projections; my body weight meets the mass of the cathedral door, and my hand grasps the door pull as I enter the dark void behind.

I dwell in the city and the city dwells in me.” — Juhani Pallasmaa, Eyes of the Skin: Architecture and the Senses
