Description

Architecture that may be meant to have a sensuous connection to life calls for thinking that goes a long way beyond form and construction. In his texts, Peter Zumthor articulates what motivates him to design his buildings, which appeal to the visitor’s heart and mind in such a lot of different ways and possess a compelling and unmistakable presence and air of secrecy. Now in its third edition, this book has been expanded to incorporate two new essays: “”Architecture and Lanscape deals with the connection between the structure and its surroundings, with the name of the game of the successful placement and topographical integration of architecture. In “”The Leis Houses,”” Peter Zumthor describes the genesis of two wooden houses within the the town of Leis within the Swiss canton of Graubünden, thus thematizing the special challenge of integrating up to date architecture into a traditional architectural context.
