Description

Thinking Architecture by Peter Zumthor A building that seeks to connect with life must think beyond its form and structure. In his writings, Peter Zumthor expresses the driving forces behind his buildings, which aim to engage the senses in a multitude of ways and possess an undeniable presence and aura. This third edition of his book has been updated with two new essays, exploring the relationship between architecture and landscape, and the art of successful placement and topographical integration of buildings. One of these essays, "The Quiet Houses", describes the creation of two wooden houses in the Leis valley, Bündnerland, and examines the challenge of integrating contemporary architecture into a traditional built environment. This book offers a unique insight into the mind of a renowned architect, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the principles and practices of modern architecture.
