JUHANI PALLASMAA’S 

SIX THEMES FOR THE NEXT MILLENIUM 

1. SLOWNESS 

2. PLASTICITY 

3. SENSUOUSNESS 

4. AUTHENTICITY 

5. IDEALISATION 

6. SILENCE

"Architecture must again learn to speak of 

materiality, gravity and the tectonic logic of 

its own making. Architecture has to become 

a plastic art again and to engage our full 

bodily participation." 

[Juhani Pallasmaa, “Six Themes for the Next Millennium”]

“The fact that the modernist idiom has not been 

able to penetrate the surface of popular taste 

seems to be due to its one-sided intellectual and 

visual emphasis; modernist design at large has 

housed the intellect and the eye, but it has left 

the body and other senses, as well as our 

memories, imagination, and dreams, homeless.” 

[Juhani Pallasmaa, The Eyes of the Skin]
