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."

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully presented book of evocative photos of work., 29 Jul 1998

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.
