Architecture that is meant to have a sensuous connection to life
calls forthinking that goes far beyond form and construction. In
his texts, Peter Zumthor articulates what motivates him to design
his buildings, which appeal to the visitor's heart and mind in so
many different ways and possess a compelling and unmistakable
presence and aura. Now in its second edition, this book has been
expanded to include two new essays: "Architecture and Lanscape"
deals with the relationship between the structure and its
surroundings, with the secret of the successful placement and
topographical integration of architecture. In "The Leis Houses,"
Peter Zumthor describes the genesis of two wooden houses in the
town of Leis in the Swiss canton of Graubunden, thus thematizing
the special challenge of integrating contemporary architecture into
a traditional architectural context.
