Juhani Pallasmaa, Professor of Architecture at Helsinki University of Technology, has been engaged in architectural practice, graphic design and town planning since 1963. Over the past two decades, he has been appointed Associated Professor at the Haile Selassie I University in Addis Ababa (1972-74); Director of the Museum of Finnish Architecture (1978-83); State Artist Professor (1983-88); and a visiting professor at Yale University (1993). He is an Honorary Fellow of the American Institute of Architects and a member of the CICA International Committee of Architectural Critics. He has designed exhibitions on Finnish architecture, planning and the visual arts; contributed to articles and lectures on cultural philosophy; and edited several books and catalogues.

Architecture is usually analyzed and taught as a discipline that articulates space and geometry, but the mental impact of architecture arises significantly from its image. Written by distinguished writer and architect Juhani Pallasmaa, this book examines at the image in culture; the nature of the image and imagination; and the specific characteristics of the artistic image, concluding with the architectural image. The Embodied Image is illustrated with more than 40 paired images, ranging from scientific images to historic artistic and architectural masterpieces, and contemporary architectural and artistic works.

Das Buch geht der Frage nach, wo in einer Zeit der mobilen Technologien Bilder und bewegte Bilder allgegenwärtig und überall verfügbar sind, das mentale Bild in der architektonischen Kultur seinen Platz findet.
