architectural work.\u003cbr\u003e When I design a building, I often find myself lost in memories that have now become hazy with the passage of time.\u003cbr\u003e I recall what the architectural situation in my memory was like and what it meant to me at the time, and I ponder how to revive the vibrant atmosphere created by the various objects, each with its own unique location and form, into reality. --- p.8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There is a secret behind the building's existence.\u003cbr\u003e Of course, the building just sits there.\u003cbr\u003e We don't show any particular interest in buildings.\u003cbr\u003e But can you imagine what it would be like without the building where it stands? These buildings seem firmly rooted in the ground. \u003cbr\u003eIt conveys this message with the impression that it has become completely part of the surrounding environment.\u003cbr\u003e “I am exactly as you see me.\u003cbr\u003e “I belong here.” I have a strong desire to design buildings that, over time, naturally become part of the form and history of the place.\u003cbr\u003e Every new building intervenes in a specific historical context.\u003cbr\u003e To increase the degree of intervention, new buildings must be endowed with properties that enable meaningful dialogue with the existing context. --- p.17\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Because, in my opinion, a good building is one that absorbs the traces of human life and displays its own richness.\u003cbr\u003e Traces of time appearing on materials, countless scratches on the surface, surfaces that have lost their luster, and blunted edges come to mind.\u003cbr\u003e But when I close my eyes and try to forget these physical traces and the feeling I had when I first encountered them, I am left with a completely different impression, a deeper feeling. \u003cbr\u003eThe awareness of time passing, the awareness of the life that was in that space and room, and the special atmosphere of that space remain.\u003cbr\u003e At such moments, the aesthetic and practical value of architecture, its stylistic and historical significance, are of no importance. --- p.24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Good design lies within ourselves and our ability to understand the world emotionally and rationally.\u003cbr\u003e Good architectural design is both sensuous and intellectual.\u003cbr\u003e We experience architecture before we even hear the word architecture.\u003cbr\u003e The roots of architectural understanding lie in architectural experience.\u003cbr\u003e Our rooms, our homes, our streets, our towns, our cities, our landscapes.\u003cbr\u003e We experience all of this unconsciously from an early age.\u003cbr\u003e Then, as time passes, you compare the countryside, city, and house you experience later with your previous experiences.\u003cbr\u003e The roots of architecture as we know it lie in childhood.\u003cbr\u003e Its roots lie in our history. \u003cbr\u003eStudents must learn to work consciously, recalling their own architectural experiences. --- p.65\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When building something within a landscape, it is important to ensure that the building's materials blend in with the historical materials that grew within that landscape.\u003cbr\u003e The physical properties of a built building must resonate with the physical properties of the area.\u003cbr\u003e I am particularly sensitive to the relationship between place, material, and time and space.\u003cbr\u003e Materials and constructions must be related to the place and sometimes come from that place.\u003cbr\u003e Otherwise, it feels like the landscape won't tolerate the new building.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e --- p.99\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003ePublisher's Review\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003ePeter Zumthor: A Timeless Presence\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Peter Zumthor was born in 1943 in Basel, Switzerland, the son of a cabinetmaker. \u003cbr\u003eZumthor, who opened an architectural office in Haldenstein in 1979, expressed a high level of architectural thought that transcended time and space through works such as the Vals Baths in Graubünden, Switzerland and the Columba Museum, and was honored with the Pritzker Prize, known as the \"Nobel Prize\" of architecture, in 2009.\u003cbr\u003e Sir Peter Palumbo, then chairman of the Pritzker Prize jury, praised Zumthor's architectural work in a commentary that said, \"Zumthor's work, with its splendid façade and its embrace of place, demonstrates that an architect can pursue the virtues of 'humility' and 'guts' at the same time.\"\u003cbr\u003e There are many renowned masters representing the architectural world. \u003cbr\u003eBut why do the architectural ideas and aesthetics of Peter Zumthor, a man almost a hermit, resonate with so many today? Why do so many architecture students in modern architecture regard him as a role model and admire his work? The answers to these questions are contained in \"Contemplating Peter Zumthor's Architecture,\" a must-read alongside Zumthor's previous work, \"Peter Zumthor Atmosphere.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePeter Zumthor: Thinking about Architecture\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Peter Zumthor, the great Swiss architect, is a legendary figure among architects leading modern architecture.\u003cbr\u003e I haven't designed any internationally renowned large-scale buildings, nor do I work across the East and West.\u003cbr\u003e However, Zumthor's 'small buildings' serve as a landmark that indicates the direction in which architects should move forward today. \u003cbr\u003eIt is a truly 'integrated' building that is in harmony with its surroundings and does not intimidate people or the landscape.\u003cbr\u003e Peter Zumthor's Reflections on Architecture, a collection of Zumthor's representative lectures, is a book that comprehensively presents his architectural philosophy, experiences, and thoughts.\u003cbr\u003e In this book, Chumthor says, “Architecture is not a means or symbol for an object unrelated to its essence.\u003cbr\u003e In a society that values ​​the non-essential, architecture must speak the language of architecture while opposing and resisting the waste of form and meaning,” he said, clearly revealing his philosophy on architecture.\u003cbr\u003e In short, architecture reflects the biographical experiences that an individual goes through in life.\u003cbr\u003e This does not require any ostentatious or flashy decorations.\u003cbr\u003e Because architecture has a life of its own and becomes one with the place.\u003cbr\u003e In fact, the architectural answer that Chumthor offers is clear and resolute. \u003cbr\u003eRegarding this, Thomas J., Chairman of the Hyatt Foundation, said:\u003cbr\u003e Pritzker also says the following:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Peter Zumthor is a great architect who is respected among architects all over the world.\u003cbr\u003e His architectural works are uncompromising and uncompromising.\u003cbr\u003e It is very strong and has a timeless presence.\u003cbr\u003e Chumthor has a talent for combining his rigorous and clear thinking with poetic inspiration.\u003cbr\u003e “Because of this, his buildings are constantly inspiring.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eModeration, firmness, and tranquility\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Zumthor's architectural philosophy can be seen in his masterpiece, the Vals Baths.\u003cbr\u003e There is restraint, determination, and calmness.\u003cbr\u003e The Bals Hot Springs is a building that is half-hidden in the sloping ground, allowing the building to blend naturally into the landscape of the land surrounded by mountains. \u003cbr\u003eAll that is exposed is the grass-covered roof and the main façade, made from gneiss quarried from the Vals region.\u003cbr\u003e The Bals Hot Springs, which took full advantage of the slope to create a building shape, looks more like the hot springs hidden within were carved out of the mountain rather than the building that the architect envisioned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Before starting the hot spring project, I thought about what it would mean to have a hot spring here.\u003cbr\u003e The hot spring water must have been gushing out from this mountain long before we existed.\u003cbr\u003e So I pictured that hot spring springing up from the mountain.\u003cbr\u003e Just as the hot springs and mountains have existed here for tens of thousands of centuries, the Vals Hot Springs were not built, but rather were there from the beginning.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In “Peter Zumthor Thinks About Architecture,” Zumthor conveys that “image” is a powerful means of approaching architectural form. \u003cbr\u003eThe images that Chumthor speaks of are images stored in each person's memory.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, it is about expressing one's own memories, experiences, and imagination regarding architectural forms.\u003cbr\u003e In his lectures, Chumthor encourages students to create designs based on their own experiences.\u003cbr\u003e This is because we believe that the power to create good designs already exists within us.\u003cbr\u003e His architectural philosophy is that experiencing things does not remain within the individual experience, but can be defined as a universal experience.\u003cbr\u003e In this book, Chumthor emphasizes that simply by remaining true to one's true nature, one can create a space that inspires profound inspiration.\u003cbr\u003e That is why he is so obsessed with understanding the characteristics of the materials he uses in construction and making the most of their unique properties. \u003cbr\u003eBecause of this, Chumthor's works have a solemn and dignified feel.\u003cbr\u003e It can be said to be a great product created by the master's craftsmanship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I highly recommend this book by this veteran, a representative of modern architecture, to anyone interested in the humanities, not just architecture students, or anyone interested in the homes we live in and the spaces we want to inhabit.\u003cbr\u003e You will be able to deeply glimpse the sublime thoughts and philosophy of Chumthor, who expresses the presence of architecture through communication with the air, sound, light, and materials that surround us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eArchitectural sketches by Peter Zumthor\u003cbr\u003e Vals Thermal Baths, Graubünden, Switzerland (1996)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Every year, more than 40,000 tourists visit Vals to enjoy the Vals hot springs.\u003cbr\u003e Chumthor designed the building structure to 'hide' along the hot spring water vein.\u003cbr\u003e A concrete retaining wall, finished with gneiss from a quarry just below the village, surrounds the water. \u003cbr\u003eIt is a space like a pious temple where nothing can be added or taken away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBruder Klaus Chapel, Germany (2007)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Bruder Klaus Chapel, a light gray concrete building nestled in the middle of a plain, epitomizes Zumthor's architectural philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e At the request of a farmer, a church was built in the middle of a wheat field, with space for only one person.\u003cbr\u003e 112 long cylindrical timbers were driven in and erected around a circle, and then concrete was poured over them.\u003cbr\u003e After the concrete hardened, the wooden formwork was burned away over a three-week period, leaving behind dark, creased ridges and traces of bark.\u003cbr\u003e As you enter the building, a mysterious light falls from the ceiling, creating a unique atmosphere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eColumba Museum, Germany (2007)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It is an art museum where history lives and breathes.\u003cbr\u003e The old structures on the lower level are what remains of St. Columba's Church, which was destroyed by bombing during World War II. \u003cbr\u003eThe concrete walls, with their understated decoration, are merely minimal supports built upon a long history.\u003cbr\u003e Zumthor sought to find the essence of the Columba Museum not in its architectural appearance, but in the works exhibited within it.
