Thinking Architecture

Editorial Reviews
Book 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 Grönlund; 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.
