Architecture today: Sensory deprivation.

“I think it is appropriate to challenge the hegemony of vision in the ocularcentrism of our culture. And I think we need to examine very critically the character of vision that predominates today in our world. We urgently need a diagnosis of the psychosocial pathology of everyday seeing -- and a critical understanding of ourselves, as visionary beings”
David Michael Levin, Modernity and the Hegemony of Vision, University of California Press, Berkeley and Los Angeles, California, 1993.

“Touch is the unconsciousness of vision, and this hidden tactile experience determines the sensuous quality of the perceived object, and mediates messages of invitation or rejection, courtesy or hostility.”
Juhani Pallasmaa
