More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The style of Peter Zumthor's work has some affinities with what is often called Swiss minimalism. Zumthor believes "the language of architecture is not a question of a specific style. Every building is built for a specific use in a specific place for a specific society. My buildings try to answer the questions that emerge from these simple facts as precisely and critically as they can."

Beautifully presented book of evocative photos of work.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Peter Zumthor: Works: Buildings and Projects 1979-1997 (Hardcover)
This is a very handsome book of mainly black and white photos of the Swiss modernist's work. There are some small color photos but I would have preferred to have seen more. The Architectural Review did a recent spread on the Baths and the blue of the stone used was very evocative. Still this is a beautiful book on a very impressive architect.

A Jewel of a Book,
By J. Balmer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Peter Zumthor: Works: Buildings and Projects 1979-1997 (Hardcover)
Because the Swiss architect has such a loyal following among architects around the world, and because Zumthor refuses to allow his books go into extra printings, this jewel of a book documenting a half dozen of Zumthor's project is much coveted by collectors. The photographs are sumptuously lit, and beautifully printed.
