Architectural atmosphere

Atmosphere

"Architectural Atmospheres" offers readers insight into the role of "atmosphere" in Zumthor's work and what it means to him. There's an exchange, a mutual give-and-take, between Swiss architect Peter Zumthor's houses and their surroundings. Focused. Enriched. Words like "atmosphere" and "mood" inevitably come to mind when encountering Zumthor's architecture: his spaces instantly and perfectly evoke a sense of feeling for those who view them, those who inhabit them, those who visit them, and those who live there. Peter Zumthor admires places and buildings that offer a haven, are habitable, and subtly helpful. Therefore, interpreting a place, engaging with it, defining its purpose, meaning, and goals, and drafting, planning, and designing a piece of architecture is a winding process, not a straight path. For Peter Zumthor, atmosphere belongs to the realm of aesthetics.
