More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
In order to design a building with a sensuous connection to life, one must think in a way that goes far beyond form and construction. This book, whose first edition has been out of print for years, has been expanded to include three new essays: Does Beauty Have a Form? The Magic of the Real, and Light in the Landscape. Not only has the book received a new typography by Hannele Gronlund; it has also been freshly illustrated throughout with new color photographs of Zumthor's new home and studio in Haldenstein, taken specially for this edition by Laura Padgett herself. In his texts, Peter Zumthor expresses his motivation in designing these buildings, which speak to our feeling and understanding in so many ways and possess a powerful and unmistakable presence and personality.

Food for thought,
By gary t (UK) - See all my reviews
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.

Well written book about the thinking process around architecture.
Statements with clear examples of what is meant by it. Easy reading book to expand one's architectural horizon.

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.
