Even if Juhani Pallasmaa in 2005 published The Eyes of the Skin offering a new way to interpret perception in Architecture, and Peter Zumthor suggestion to students in architecture is to build atmospheres, this paper deals with an ancestral way to communicate ideas (particularly compositional ideas) through symbols, evocations, traces of images, shades of memories.

The gaze crosses transparent walls or multiplies images, bumping into its reflection that is produced by shiny and two-dimensional surfaces [3]. The architecture of the computer age experiments the Synesthetic potentialities of a kaleidoscopic and multisensory perception that goes beyond the synthesis of the arts [5]. This last was one of the main topics for the Modern Movement masters, who argued about the geometric boundaries of the architecture and drew walls, designed as opaque scenes, cropped, solid and at the same time abstract and allusive. In the Iidabashi station of the Tokyo underground, Makoto Sei Watanabe sows trans-sensory clues that intertwine in a sort of interstitial oscillation between memory and physical sensation: part of the wall along the pedestrian walkway is treated with a texture borrowed from the Braille alphabet, to enhance the sense of connection of touch and sight. With the fingertips you can “read” on a metal surface, the phrase “wooden surface treatment” [6]. In this way two sensations overlap, or rather three: the sense of touch, that of sight and that of sight through touch. The knowledge that one has of the different characteristics of the materials and their sensory effects is translated into words, triggering in the mind a process of transferring information from consciousness to sensation and vice versa as in a “perceptual oxymoron”. The surface is not made of wood and you can feel on your fingers the cold and smooth metallic material that makes fun of us denouncing what is not [7]. Synesthetic is an allusive architecture, like the Monsoon restaurant, built in Sapporo in 1990 by Zaha Hadid, with the ice colour bar at the entrance, icy just like the cocktails prepared inside, a perfect image of architecture as petrified music; with the restaurant in the innermost part, enveloped in darkness, torn from above by a fiery","PeriodicalId":228128,"journal":{"name":"Archaeology & Anthropology: Open Access","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124390416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the eclectic paradigm, a gravity model and threshold procedure, the paper found that geographical factors were the main attraction for FDI inflows to most regions of Africa. However, FDI would flow more to countries with lower level of inflationary tendencies. This pattern cuts across different models. Fiscal deficit ratio of less than 3.3% and inflation rate of less than 10% maximized the geographical advantage. Beyond these thresholds, FDI inflows to Africa appeared discouraged.","PeriodicalId":228128,"journal":{"name":"Archaeology & Anthropology: Open Access","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117017826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
