Atmospheres

by Peter Zumthor

ISBN 9783764374952

About This Book

Peter Zumthor's passion is the creation of buildings with architectural atmosphere. But how can one actually set out to achieve it? In nine short, illustrated chapters framed as a process of self-observation, Zumthor describes what he has on his mind as he sets about creating the atmosphere of his houses.

Editorial Note

A slim, meditative book on what makes architectural quality — material compatibility, temperature, surrounding objects, composure, tension, the light on things. Architecture as emotional environment.
