More About the Author
Product Description
Synopsis
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."

Food for thought,

This review is from: Thinking Architecture (Hardcover)
I believe that this book is based on a series of lectures hence the previous post's comments regarding "printed blog". I think however that it is a key text for architcture students and architects alike, giving some insight into where Zumthor obtains his inspiration for creating truly individual and inspiring buildings. In a world of throwaway gestures where architecture is becoming (or has become?) equally shallow, this book is a timely reminder of the quiet power of architecture to resist this cultural move toward surface and iconoclasm.

This review is from: Thinking Architecture (Hardcover)
Expecting somebody who had purchased something to wait a full 2 months for the product is beyond belief. i have had the money allready taken from my account, and i find the service appalling.
